I love this; it provides a ton of kitchen storage, and It is also my "dining room table" in my studio apartment. Two counter-height stools and you're good to go. I took it off the casters to stop it from moving around so much, but if you like to have modular furniture that's a big plus. I was concerned that the hinged drop leaf would sag over time, but I eat dinner on it, work at it, even read leaning my elbow on it; it is holding up super well. Also, it is super easy to clean. Between eating and cooking on this, I expected it to become scratched and stained, but it has held up remarkably well and a damp rag goes a long way on this surface.
