Bought this a few years ago to use on our small deck.  We wanted to be able to eat outside but didn't have the room for large outdoor furniture.  We like to use this with our lawn chairs at the lower height, or regular height with normal chairs, or at the tallest height when my teenagers have friends come over and I want to treat them to an italian soda bar station.  My sister asked to use it while her son was home from college so he'd have a place to study.  I said "sure" but we haven't gotten it back yet!  I'm either going to have to sneak over to her house and take it back, or go and get ourselves a new one:).  Would definitely buy again.
