I was looking for an inexpensive table to accompany four pub height chairs. When the box arrived, I was skeptical that the table was too small for my space, but once I assembled the table, it is the perfect size. The table is small - it seats two people comfortably but it's very crowded with three and four people. It was very easy to assemble. I am careful and use placemats so not to scratch the surface. If you are looking for a table for an apartment or a craft table, I highly recommend this table.
