Needed something for a small space, but didn't want pub height.  Found that most small dining tables were too tall (pub).  Was a little nervous about purchasing on line - but we took a chance and am glad we did. This worked out perfectly. Didn't have any issues with assembly, though I think the instructions could be clearer- as it did take a few extra minutes to figure out how to attach top properly to base. Love the extra storage!! We use this with both sides down, behind a chair in living room.  Extremely sturdy. I've had it for 3 months and no complaints. 

Pros: Great value!
Cons: Strange finish. We don't use this for daily dining. Not sure it would hold up as well with heavy use. Perfect for our use, though.
