We were looking for a space-saving design for a table/chair set that didn't require us to always put back the chairs & close the table. This one fits our space perfectly & looks great too. Perfect for 2 people & 4 can fit with a bit of a squeeze but not bad. Assembly was relatively pain- & hassle-free. One thing we aren't too keen on is that the table surface appears to absorb things with color that are put on it...we already have 2 areas with "green" markings and we can't get rid of them, they seem to have absorbed into the finish of the table! So be sure to use coasters or trivets for items you set on there that are colored. Otherwise, good product overall!
