I purchased this table to go with 2 black saddle stools I already had. Instead of a traditional kitchen island I put this table and the stools in the center of my kitchen. The height is counter height so you can use it as an additional prep station. It's a great size and a great style at a great price. Was super easy to put together - a couple of bolts per leg and the table the was ready to use. The wood is soft and easily scratched/dented so just be careful. That's why I removed one star from the rating. Other than that I am really happy with this purchase.
