This table was a perfect fit for the space I had.  It took me 10 minutes to assemble and was quite simple to do.  I actually leave the leaf open and it makes a nice addition to my kitchen space.  It is a stool so don't think your gonna be a comfortable person though.  Sitting for 20 minutes is long enough but it gets the job done when eating or prepping food.  I would recommend to anyone with a tight space or an open kitchen/living room set up.  It completed the empty space.
