This is my second table. I purchased one before about 2 years and it still looks good. Good color and would match most dark wood furniture. Light to carry. I use it as my workstation so I have PC Printer tons of papers spread around so it gives me plenty of space which is extremely important to me. And it is very stable if I write or put my legs up it does not move or shakes. I used to use traditional desk with shelves on each side and never felt I had enough room for my legs under and moving hard wood heavy desk was huge pain. I have to give this table 5 starts despite the fact that it is hard to get the plastic wrap off the table. I have to agree with another review so whoever designed the wrapping for this table did not think through. However I used box cutter to cut the plastic on the edges so it does not hang under the table…no big deal.
