I bought this counter height table to use it as both an island and a dining table. I had to set it up by myself, which at one point was challenging because another set of hands was definitely needed to balance the table while I was attaching the legs on the other side. I ended up stacking up the box and styrofoams that came with the table to balance it. Overall, I'm kind of satisfied with the table. I just wish the color it's a bit more vibrant, so it goes with my kitchen.
