This table takes a lot of abuse. Its the work table in my piano studio. Lots of worksheets, theory notes  playdough. Ive had it for about 9 months now  its still in perfect condition. Its also the perfect size for the space. Sitting between 2 pianos creating quick access from both for a writing surface (needed something bigger than a desk with access from all sides). Its normal table height  perfect for me to roll my doctor-office style rollie chairs (no back, just a round cushion top) under it so they are out of the way. The finish is a nice color.  Matches well with other brandsproducts with the same finish.
