perfect. I was trying to build out a kitchen because my tiny apartment doesn't have one. this is the same height as the existing counters, and i'm using the table as a pseudo-island -- it gives my apartment the look of a place with a legitimate open kitchen and i love it. because it's in the middle of the room it really needed to be high quality and this piece fits the bill. it changes my whole space. can't wait to get some great stools, next...
