Although I would disagree with other reviewers that this table is easy to put together, it was well worth the effort! It is extremely sturdy as are the stools.  It is counter height, so it is my "center island" I don't have as well as a cool table!  It is not so high that kids are unsafe.  Love it!

Pros: Great value, very sturdy construction, great "industrial look" without being too sterile.
Cons: A little tricky to assembly.
