This table is exactly how its described and turned out perfect for our needs. We needed a small round dining table for our not-so-spacious manhattan apartment. We got the 36" table and it fits the space perfectly. Without the leaf, its just right for 2 people, and with the leaf, you can seat up to 4 easily. When we are not using it for dining, its small enough to act as a hallway table. The design is simple and fits our decor perfectly as well. Overall a very versatile, sturdy and beautiful table for a small space.
