I was looking for a counter height table for my kitchen, and this one just happened to be perfect in every way!    I already had the chairs, so finding a table with enough space for them to fit under comfortably, was important.  Also, the length and width had to fit within a certain space.  The table is substantial..  not flimsy in any way, and also, was easy to assemble!  I am so happy with my purchase, and everyone who sees it, just loves it!  Perfect for casual dining, an impromptu office area, and for watching TV.  It is larger than it looks in the photo.  You will not be disappointed.  Dark espresso color, with a nice wood grain.
