This table was easy to put together, and it really is exactly as pictured.  I bought it because I needed a table with a base that would accomodate a banquette--someone could slide in without banging their knees on table legs while also being seated at a comfortable distance from the tabletop--and that is small enough to fit in my breakfast nook. This definitely fits the bill! The only reasons that I didn't give it 5 stars are: the finish is kind of cheap looking on the table top but seems like it will hold up well enough, and I worry that the folding sections may sag over time as the supports don't pull out very far. I have had the table about a month or so, and it has been fine so far, but I do worry when anyone leans too hard on the folding sections. But you get what you pay for, and this table was VERY affordable so for the price, I think it is pretty great.
