I love this table. It was easy to put together and it is well made and sturdy. We use it for multiple purposes. It is perfect to use as a desk sitting on a stool or as a stand up desk putting a laptop on a monitor riser to raise it just a few more inches. We serve dishes on it for get togethers or for extra seating. The color is more brown than gray, which I was happy about. You wont regret purchasing this set.
