we purchased this breakfast bar as a small table in our kitchen, but it can be used for a table for children on a daily purpose or on special occasion to keep the children in the kitchen.  we recently had a special dinner and it was easy to wheel it in the dinning room and put down the one side of the table and we were able to serve several different foods on it.  the bottom of the table you can use as storage and easy to clean above and move around to clean under because of the wheels.
