This table is a lot like a table you might find at Target or Ikea. It's inexpensive, requires assembly and it's laminate. With that in mind it's a really great table. It's super sturdy. It's a really great color. The design of the table is quite nice. What you don't see from the picture is there is a space between the top of the legs and the top of the table that is actually really neat! This is exactly what we needed for our space. We have two small children so it hides a lot of kid mess and cleans really easy. Maybe when they are older we will buy a more expensive solid wood table. For now though this is perfect for us.
