For the price, you cannot get a more appealing, sturdy, useful, and versatile table. I purchased this for a small kitchen area in our new rental. As a military family, we're constantly on the move and purchasing high-quality furniture usually means more money. This does everything I was looking for in a smaller table:  great storage, easy to assemble, and easy to clean. We did not have any of the assembly issues a few other reviews mentioned. Plus, free shipping was an added bonus. I purchased the white table to match chairs I already owned.
