At first I had terrible trouble putting it together, it took three days and all I could think was bad things. After having it for about two months it suddenly dawned on me how much I actually used it. I purchased it to be just a small bar area and sure enough that’s what it turned out to be. If you have a small apartment or small house this is perfect because it closes up into a small one or two person dinette and when you need it to be larger simply open it up and now it’s a four person eating table or for just playing cards. I hope everyone enjoys theirs as much as I do.
