I wanted a counter height table small enough to fit in a corner, big enough for working on puzzles and crafts, ( leaving the main dining table free for actual meals) and tall enough to push up against the island for extra space for frosting Christmas cookies.  This table is perfect.  So sturdy, it will also provide extra holiday seating, a place for card games--anything.  I have some high-end cherry with black accent furniture, and while this isn't an exact match, its certainly close enough, especially considering the price.

Pros: Very sturdy.  Nice, durable finish.  My husband had it assembled in 10 minutes.
