Kitchen & Dining Tables

I'd give this product five stars except we only just put it together last night, so one star off cause I can't vouch for it's long-term durability. Still: it's nice 'n sturdy. I don't forsee any problems. Contrary to an earlier review, this table is NOT 42 inches high ("pub height"). It is 36 inches high, or "counter height" and therefore requires chairs/stools 24 to 26 inches tall. Note: typical dining tables are 29 inches high, a good deal shorter! Which is why I went with counter height that aligns perfectly for window seating. At least, in our place it does. Plus, the finish matches our black blinds. Makes for a clean, modern dining nook. Nothing fancy. I love how the table is narrow yet still usable (for two people) when both leaves are down, and then doubles in size when you flip them out. Or you can flip just one of 'em out. So flexible & easy. Also, quite nice to not have extra leaves to store when not in use. This is not a high-end table, of course, so I didn't expect it to be perfect. Came surprisingly close, though. The finish had a few tiny scuffs or imperfections or whatever, around the leaf-hinges. Thirty seconds with a black sharpie, gone. Like I said earlier, sturdy table. Not rickety at all. Storage door level & square, latch on that clicks open & closed firmly without sticking. Much more solid than I'd expected, given the price. My boyfriend put it together with a power drill in less than a half an hour, but then, he's been putting together A LOT of furniture lately so perhaps he's got an edge. Great table! Especially for those of us who've sworn off flea market furniture since bed bugs have reared their blood-sucking little heads..."..."  Read more

I use this table in my very small "breakfast nook" right off my kitchen for my husband, daughter, and myself to eat most of our meals at. If I had room for a table that was a little wider, it would have been better as this one is a little cramped for three people but a larger table just wouldn't fit in my situation. If you are considering this table for three or more people, I don't recommend it as the legs are too close together to get up to the table comfortably on the ends. However, for two people, it's great! Seems to be holding up really well, liquids don't damage the surface and it is sturdy and not wobbly at all. Overall, this is a great table and I'm very satisfied with my purchase!"..."  Read more

I bought this table to replace my kitchen table. The table is gorgeous and the constuction is great too! Nice and sturdy. I purchase 6 chairs elsewhere but it accomodate 6 easily. The texture of the table and the distressing sets it off! I also love that there is no leaf in this table, just one solid piece."..."  Read more

I purchased this table to go in my kitchen dining area and I couldn't be happier with it! The photos here don't do it justice; it looks absolutely beautiful in my home with my existing decor. The pub height of the table is not too high; as a matter of fact, it makes the small dining area in my kitchen look more spacious. I also purchased the swivvle bar stools and baker's rack to go with this table, both of which are very beautiful as well. If you like the Tuscan and/or Mediterranean decor in your home, you will love the Hillsdale Brookside collection!"..."  Read more
