This really works for my area where I don't have much space and don't need a full size dining table all the time. It's more like a 'sofa table' when closed up and I use it as a laptop desk most of the time. I wish the ends were less curvy, but it was the only table I could find that matched my needs. The quality is amazing and the finish is wonderful. A bit pricey, but solid wood and the quality shows.
