It is lightweight and fits the space perfectly. Because it is so lightweight, the table moves very easily. It is not the most sturdy piece even though it is real wood. It took me forever to put it together, but that was partially my fault for using a ratchet screw driver instead of a drill. Use a drill. Maybe 3 pieces of wood were labeled, so it was like an adult puzzle. I wish it had storage under the benches, we are going to modify it so that it does. We wanted a space for family dinners other than high chairs and barstools at the island, so it gave us that. But, its tight for 2 toddlers and 2 adults. So when our 3 kids are older, we will have to size up to accommodate 5 larger people.
