This is a very solid table... substantial and sturdy. The midnight blue color has a definite teal tint to it, fyi, which I like but something to keep in mind if you are looking for a standard blue. Assembly was fairly straightforward, but I did end up with a slight misalignment on top of one of the dropdown sides, which I expect is my fault. If I had to choose, I would not have gotten the dropdown sides on a round table, since the lines on top are visible and I will only use it open, but I liked the style and color of this one enough to overlook that. The size is perfect for my dining nook too and adds a lovely pop of color. All in all, I am very happy with this table.
