It serves its purpose. However it’s definitely NOT stable on its own. You must use the wall straps to prevent it from tipping over… especially if you have pets or little ones. This is not a “stand alone” table. The stability bar at the bottom is directly down the middle of the table. It’s a little misleading in the photos, as I thought I would be able to place baskets underneath. With the bar placement, there’s absolutely no room for additional storage. Materials are sturdy, and it was easy to assemble.
