This table is very sturdy and is absolutely perfect for the space I needed it to fit. The only reason I took a star away is because of the ding on the top that was there right out of the box. It seemed like too much of a hassel to attempt to returnexchange it, and honestly, with a 4 and 5 year old, its only a matter of time before theyre creating their own dings in it. Overall, a really great piece. Id definitely buy it again.
