I can't speak to its durability, but it's awfully lovely, easy to assemble (90% is already assembled for you), and looks much more expensive than it is. One small quibble: The legs are situated diagonally from the table center. It's an aesthetic issue for me. I keep wanting to adjust the legs until they are perfectly lined up, like in the advertised photo. Frankly, I'm not sure if this is a feature in all drop-leaf tables, but that's the only reason for the missing star. My photo includes two ikea chairs.
