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
