I use this table to support a small machine quilting frame and sewing machine. For my needs it is perfect. As others have said, the box arrived damaged in 2 corners, but the table corner protectors prevented any damage to the table. It is heavy and very sturdy, much more so than the fold up plastic tables you get at the big DIY stores. It took 2 of us to move it downstairs. You have to pull hard on the cross piece that locks the legs into position. It does not bother me that the leg bolts show on the top. This is a heavy duty table but you could put a cloth on it and use it for dining. I know it can be folded up but doubt I will do that.
