It's a beautiful table. It's very compact, and with the drop leaves, that gives a lot of flexibility to use in different ways. I like the clean lines that his one has. Unfortunately, they sent me the wrong size of table .... I ordered the counter height, and they sent me the standard table height. We didn't realize the mistake until the table has already been set up. By the way, the photo is NOT where we are going to use the table. It's just sitting off in the corner for now, in a different room. It's supposed to go in the "eat-in kitchen," which they are in the middle of repainting. Counter height would be at the height of the drop-down desk that you see to the right. This table is about 6 inches too low. I bought these lemon yellow bar stools from overstock, to go with the table. As you can see, the table is too low to go with the those bar stools, unless you've got some seriously skinny thighs! Ha ha. The white chair you see in the pic is the one that we have to go with the desk at right. That white chair is designed to go with a counter height table or desk, and as you can see, the table is too low for that chair, too. Anyway, I'm super bummed because I really like this table, and it's already out of stock. So, even though overstock made the mistake of sending me the wrong one, there is nothing they can do to fix it. Overstock does sell another table that is similar, but it doesn't have the same straight smooth lines. I'm hoping this one will come back in stock very soon. I'm all ready for my new eat-in kitchen table!
