Functionally it's a nice breakfast table, but a bit flimsy. Sure, it'll hold a book or a cup of coffee, but the surface is so thin that if your cat steps on it, it'll probably break. It's made of a single layer or ply such as used in plywood. Also, the wood is stained but not sealed, so it'll be prone to dry out and possibly splinter. I got this with some free store credits, but had I paid my own money, I wouldn't be pleased.
