I bought this table as a cutting table in my sewing room. I needed a big enough table to accommodate my 36x23 cutting board with more space to the side for my cutting tools. I could even fit my shelving unit with my fabric boxes and supplies underneath the table. This was a big bonus for me. I freed up another wall for a comfy chair by fitting the cutting table and supply shelf together in one place. It was very easy to assemble and the quality is very good. I am so happy with this purchase.
