I was a little nervous about these tables given some prior comments on like tables, but these work great from my family. They're sturdy, the stand is easy to put together (if you're used to putting things together) and they look terrific! We used them all the time, but even when they're not in use, I store them where they can be seen. One hint from me is that for now I'm leaving the plastic cover on the tops of the trays and now I can easily wipe off whatever mess my family makes on them so they always look new.
