Very cute! Definitely a little weird at first with it being lower to the ground, but I got over it pretty quickly. Seems very sturdy and it’s quite heavy, but I wouldn’t try standing on it or let kids climb all over it. Not that the table would break, but it would likely tip over. It’s natural wood with no protective sealant on it so you either leave it as is, or slap some on yourself. If you have little kids or tend to spill stuff a lot, seal it. Don’t panic if you see some imperfections on the tabletop, it’s part of the charm! Pretty awesome table and I would highly recommend!
