We recently got rid of our dining room table to make more room in our tiny condo. I missed having a table to sit and eat at so we bought this along with some chairs for a small area to eat behind our sofa. I love that it takes up minimal space, was easy to put together and is unfinished. I didn't give it 5 stars because we have only had it for two weeks so I can't really comment on how durable it is.
