I begin making jewelry a year ago and had been using by dining room table to create my crafts.  As can be imagined, that quickly became impractical because I had to clean up all the materials everytime I finished working.  I was looking for a place that I could both work at and store my jewelry pieces.  I ordered this unit, although it said it was a sewing table.  It works great!  Now, when I finish working for the night, I can just close up the doors and everything looks nice and clean.  This can be used for much more than a sewing table.  It took me about 2 hours to put together, but I did it all by myself!  I love it!! I would have given it a five, but there was a small dent in the wood on the front edge.  Not too bad though.
