The size of this table is perfect for my small kitchen, and it is easy to seat two adults side by side with enough room for them to eat. The table seems to be fairly sturdy so far, I've only had it three months. It would have been easy to assemble, had it been in good condition. One of the aprons was broken off when the table arrived. I didn't want to go through the hassle of reboxing it and returning it, so we glued it back on with superglue and let it sit overnight. So far it has held up. Also, the paint was chipped off of one corner of the table. I was able to take some touch up paint and cover it. If you wipe this table with a wet rag very much, the top becomes discolored, so if you want it stay shiny and nice looking, I would recommend putting some polyurethane over it when you first get it.
