This table is exactly what I was looking for.  Easy to put together unfortunately some hardware was missing on the chairs, but nothing that can't be corrected.  I have had it a week and my 5 year old hasn't damaged it yet.  My dog hasn't figured out how to steal food of the top of table (counter height is nice to have).  The only problem I have with this purchase is that it makes my floors look awful which means mama is getting new flooring!!  :)
