Overall this a great table. It was relatively easy to assemble with one person but did require 2 people to get it into the upright position. My only complaint is that it is not a flat surface- there are a ton of little grooves from the patter of the wood that crumbs get in to. I use a mini handheld vaccuum to get them out. Nothing has been spilled on it yet, but I imagine that it will be hard to clean up when it happens. If you have children, this is probably not the table for you- unless you get a glass cover for it for easy clean up.
