Not as substantial as I was hoping (It's fine) but if it was 4 to 6" higher it would be perfectI purchased these tables for our school orchestra. That means we fold, unfold and move them quite often. The legs fall open too easily when transporting. A clip to hold them in a folded position would be very helpful. Also, the metal ring used to secure the legs in place when open gets in the way when trying to fold the legs. If you aren't planning to move it often, it's a good sturdy table. If portability is important, then you might want to look elsewhere as these are heavy and clumsy to move.Whenever we have a group over, I like to set up a separate table just for beverages. This table is narrow therefore doesn't take up too much room in the kitchen. I can place my Kuerig and beverage dispenser or pitchers on it as well as coffee mugs and glasses. It works well for guests to fix their own drinks while I'm getting the meal ready.It arrived slightly banged up, and it is a bit tippy on the carpet, but I just wanted for a table in the basement for the kids, so it works just fine for that purpose.I received the defective item.Great table very well made perfect size for us
