surprised at how well this worked out in my kitchen space. the countertop is not as thick as I was hoping but the height and the open design are great. honestly the real selling point for me was the fact that this came as a set with the stools included. they tuck nicely under the table and are super easy to take outside onto my apartment balcony where I have a balcony bar set up.  building it is simple enough with the included instructions. 4 stars because the quality of the metal is bit cheap considering how much this costs and a lot of the joints to not sit flush due to poor manufacturing. the package arrived in horrendous condition, so much so that I was worried the product was either super damaged or there were going to be a lot of pieces missing. thankfully I got lucky, but be prepared to get in touch w customer service.
