We use these tables for in-house cocktail parties at our offices. We are located in Manhattan, and have very limited storage space. We are able to keep them in a large closet, and we stack them 3 high, as they lower to about 2.5 feet. They are light and very easy to raise to their full height. They are a little more difficult to press down than to raise. Very sleek looking. We are very happy with the product.
