I got this table thinking it was Pretty small, I was surprised that it was actually as big as my current dining room table. Perfect size for a small kitchen, or it could be used as kind of a picnic table or art table for the kids! Its pretty heavy and sturdy, Im not worried about it breaking with my little one climbing up and down on it, and its definitely very elegant looking! I did try to throw a plastic tablecloth on it so it didnt get ruined or scuffed up when my little one was playing, but it just slides right off. Definitely some thing youre going to keep uncovered!￼ Overall very happy with this table￼￼￼!
