I have a table just like this and would happily buy another just like it, which is right here. I hate to break it to western society, but oriental tables ALWAYS run small and/or short. I'll explain a few reasons why.
1. Traditionally, chairs are NOT used with it, nor sofas. You sit upon the floor with it in front of you.
2. Oriental cultures do not have much room in their homes. They would have a hard time fitting a western table, as most western tables are so tall they require chairs, and too big to fit into their homes/apartments.
3. This is a normal-weather table. In colder and winter weather, you'd have a somewhat taller and bigger table that has a heater built-in and a curtain to shimmy your legs, or hands, or a food item under for keeping warm.
If you want a coffee table, sofa table, card table, do NOT buy an oriental table.
