The table is solid and functions well. The leaves open easily and smoothly. The size is very good for our apartment Assembly was not difficult. HOWEVER, the finish and wood veneer is not of the highest quality and easily chipped at the edges. As a matter of fact, it came with a slightly damaged corner chip, and I'm going to try to fix it with wood putty. Bottom line, it is a value for the price. If you're looking for top of the line finished wood, you'll need to pay more. But at least it is REAL wood and very pretty color.
