I was looking for a counter height table that would not take up too much space but still be big enough to have dinners with my boyfriend and have enough room to move dishes around, drinks, etc. This table was the perfect fit! It has a beautiful espresso finish and looks like it costs a LOT more than it does! I love the seating and how versatile the stools were in my home. I was able to incorporate them in other areas of my home when entertaining. I have received many compliments on this table. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a sturdy, beautiful dining set that is counter height!
