The table is great for a smaller apartment. The assembly instructions were pretty useless, but we figured it out and had it assembled in about 30 mins. The only thing I don't like is that if you're taller, you can't really push your chair in all the way without hitting your knees on the metal brackets below. I'm 5'8" and I can just barely scoot my chair all the way in, my boyfriend is 6'4" and has to sit a little ways back from the table- but it's not so bad we'd return the table.
