I live in a small apartment, so needed a dining set that wouldn't take up much room. This set works fine for the space. The set is a little lower in height than I expected, and the stools site low. Be careful with the fold out leaf - you can't put a lot of weight on it (i.e., elbows on table, leaning). 

Pros: takes up minimal space, serves as both another countertop/prep surface and eating table
Cons: assembly was a little tricky, but only took about 20-30 mins
