This set is perfect for a small space. The descriptions as "doll furniture" are gross exaggerations. My 6'1" husband and I (5'9") sit comfortably on the furniture. Our space is approximately 8' x 11' and the furniture fills the space nicely without overcrowding and, conversely, without looking like it is too small for the space. I do wish that the table offered storage, but I understand that a working part would likely increase the cost.
