This table is the perfect size for my small kitchen, especially like that the stools fit under the table. It's a nice height, stools aren't so tall that you have to climb up to sit. Had the same problem as others with the cross pieces of the stool legs being a tight fit. Nothing too terrible. Some of the screw hole covers were an unusual size and didn't fit right, but again no real issue with it. I purchased the darker color, very pretty, no scratches despite my dog constantly trying to see what's up there. Similar tables on other websites are a few hundred dollars more. Overall, a nice table for a really great price.
