The previous owners of our house expanded the kitchen in a way that made but had been a good-sized accessible dining room into something barely useful. So in order to be able to walk through the room, and still have the table, we needed something just the right size. This is it! As with most very inexpensive furniture, don't expect it to have the kind of finish your great grandma's antique mahogany table did. We would've paid more for a better quality table in the same size and shape, but with a little TLC in the form of retouching sticks/pens, it's fine.
