If you like a nice simple table for four, this is it. It doesn't leave much space for platters of food but its perfect for 2-3 bowls or a center plate with space for four place settings. we use the round place mats and they fit well. My only issue is the supports are lacking under the folding edges. Don't expect a full adult to be able to lean on it much without it starting to flex. I'm looking to make some metal channels to slide under but for now I let my kids sit on those sides!
