I have a small kitchen and needed to find a small dining table. I wanted something that looks sophisticated and expensive without actually being expensive. Believe it or not it took me at least 3 years to find something I could be happy with. Finding the right size was not easy. This table is simple yet sleek and is very sturdy. It seats 4 although I only needed for 2.. Thank you Ashley for Realizing that not everyone has a big family and smaller furniture is appreciated.
