I’m using this table in my kitchen in an area that is not being utilized with cabinets and countertops. I use it as a prep area and buffet when having get togethers. The table height it what sold me. It is a breeze to set up and clean. The shelf holds quite a bit, but I worried because it seems a bit unsteady, but so far so good after several months of use. Once I remodel my kitchen, this table will be used in my garage.
