This set was purchased because I needed another small work space like an island in the center of a small kitchen that already has a breakfast table and chairs.  It is the perfect size and still leaves me room to walk around in my kitchen.  Makes for a great serving counter for preparing dishes and a nice place to sit and drink coffee. it is better than I expected and the table top is beautiful.  I am very pleased with the look and quality and it totally serves its purpose and then some.
