I live in a small condo, so I was looking for a small dining table that I could expand when I had company. This table suited my needs well. It can be used as a 40 inch square table or can be extended to a maximum 72 inches with the two (included) 16 inch leaves. The table is sturdy and the color/finish matches the photos. If I could change anything about this table, it would be 1) the faux drawer be real, and 2) the table leg height were a few inches taller (to accommodate larger people) due to the trim from the faux drawer.
