This table is great for my small studio -- it's sturdy and attractive, the drop leaf saves space, and when I have company I can pull the table away from the wall, open it up, and seat four (cozily). I managed to assemble it alone, but having a second person would have made it far easier.  Also, it's small enough that very tall people might not be able to pull up all the way without hitting their knees on the table legs.  But for my purposes, it's perfect!
