As other reviews suggested, this table was extremely difficult to put together. That said, once assembled, it's a really nice, solid table, and the butterfly piece in the middle folds out of the way nicely when not in use. This table is a few inches taller than our other outdoor table, however--something I didn't think to check. (Aren't all tables basically the same height?) And now we have to replace our chairs because we feel like small children at this thing. So make sure your chairs work with this table height before buying.
