This is a space saver. This compact, counter height, 3 seater is worth every dollar if you are trying to maximize the eating area in your home. The table  stools are surprisingly sturdy. It was not difficult to built  the pieces were labeled, perfectly. The boards are not wood but a type of particle board covered with gray wood appearing material thats gives a woodlike appearance and texture when you turn your hand across the surface. I would recommend using coasters to prevent warping  preserving the surface of the table. The USB port works expected. I am pleased with this purchase.
