This table is absolutely perfect! I purchased it for very much needed counter space after trying to prepare food on the measly 2ft wide countertop in my apartment for the past year and a half. It's EXACTLY the same height and depth as the built-in countertop and fits perfectly in the nook in my kitchen. The table is beautiful, sturdy, and adds so much more functionality to the space! It makes cooking and baking enjoyable again! I also love how this table could easily serve other purposes when I move to a new place. For example, I've gotten suggestions it could be used as a desk or buffet/serving table, in addition to it's original intention as a bar table for quick meals and drinks. Love it!!!
