I needed a very narrow kitchen table that could extend if needed to accomodate guests for dinner, etc. There is currently no room on the main floor for a kitchen table (I have a 4 seater large island). This table came recommended to me - I use it as a console table in the living room and when needed, I move extend the sides to maje it a full table (in middle of living room). Omg!! Its totally worth the price for the look, functionality and quality!!!
