I decided to get this item to replace a high-table that served as a dining room table. The height is definitely more than anticipated, be weary when purchasing. The table itself is very solid and has a modern, sleek appearance. I definitely recommend for someone looking to put a breakfast nook in the corner of a room. As seen in the picture, I was required to place a folded piece of paper towel underneath one corner to prevent rocking, but I believe this is due to an uneven floor rather than the table itself. Would definitely recommend as a side piece, but not a center attraction for your dining room
