Nice table for the price. Im 5'4" and when the top is fully lifted, its a bit too high to sit comfortably and eat.  It would be nice if the table had a locking mechanism so that when the top is lifted you dont accidentally lower it. lastly you need put a weight in the storage area or else it might tip over if you putt too much pressure on. I would only worry about that if you have small kids. The color is more like a dark cherry than expresso or chocolate. 

Pros: Easy assembly
Cons: need to weigh it down from toppling over when top is lifted
