This table is gorgeous and very useful. The usable surface isn't as big as the photos make it out to be but I wasn't surprised given the actual measurements provided. 

I didn't give it 5 stars because of the wheels. Not smooth at all on a hard floor and it's a bit of a headache to move it out. Think of the worst dysfunctional shopping cart and then you get the idea. 

I would have also made the little ledge go the full length of the surface so books and pencils have more ledge to rest on. Not sure why the manufacturer didn't consider it.
