The table arrived here in a very short time. A friend of mine put it together so quickly I wish I had done it myself (and saved 10 bucks). But I owed him a favor. Meanwhile I like the table a lot. I have a small kitchen and it fits well in the room (under a chandelier). In fact since I now have a bar table there I bought a dimmer switch on the chandelier. Maybe I can start charging for drinks. If you are thinking of buying it, notice there are several similar pedestal-style tables with alternative sizes on the top (I got the 24 inch diameter, there was also a 28 inch, etc.).
