I keep this table open all the time in my home office, it's a beautiful piece of furniture.  It's used mainly as a game table.  I host all family holiday dinners at my home and always need an extra table.  It's so easy to fold the legs and move it to my dining room when needed.  This table matches my dining room set, therefore it always looks as though it belongs.  As you can see the table is more than I expected, definitely a very good value.I would, and already have, recommended this table to a friend.
