We ordered this table for our living room, since we like to have meals in the living room once in a while. The table is sturdy and looks great.  The table itself is 5-star, but I deducted one star for the awkward assembly.  Although we only had to attach the legs, it took two of us and multiple scratches to get the legs in place. Since one hand has to be inside the table, under the table lift mechanics, I suggest that you have someone with small hands available to help with assembly. Anybody with large hands would have a very difficult time getting the legs in place.
