I was looking for an inexpensive 60 inch long sofa table. I wanted it to be the same height as my dining table and wanted to be able to place extra chairs or stools beneath to expand our dining options.  This table is perfect for my needs. We are finishing it with whitewash and polyurethane.

Pros: good price, perfect size for apartment living
Cons: Parawood seems to need to be pre-treated in order to take a stain uniformly.
