I bought this for a rental property.  We are required to provide seating for the same number that we can sleep and couldn't do that in the dining room. This gave me 3 extra seats within a small footprint. We had a glass top made for it because renters are hard on furniture, but I don't think that would be necessary for home use. The USB's are a nice touch, especially when there's the potential for 14 people trying to charge their phones. I still need to find a way to tack the cord to the back of the bar so that it is less visible.
