I was looking for a smaller table for our tiny apartment kitchen that could double as extra counter space for chopping /prepping, this is pretty great! The assembly was a little more of a headache than the other piece I ordered but we still got it together in under an hour. The table is nice and tall, but unfortunately that means that the stools are also very tall... I have short legs and the stools are super uncomfortable to me, we will probably add a support rod along the front to have a place for my feet to rest. The quality is very nice, no real defects, but the package came with an insane amount of styrofoam, and tape that was stuck to the actual furniture and left a residue behind. I do really like this piece overall though!
