I needed a long, slim table for the laundry room; something to fit in a limited space, but enough surface area to sort, fold, and stack. Not only does this table work for that, it is also strong and sturdy enough for other uses (hobby table, crafts table, potting and repotting plants, and minor woodworking projects). The box is a bit heavy for one person (ie, elderly female) to handle, but other than that the table is well worth the money. Easy to assemble, sturdy and strong, and has multiple uses. The simple design fits in well, and looks very elegant.
