Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wasn't even planning on getting a kitchen table because I didn't want to lose anymore square footage. The way my apartment is set up, a table will be in the way no matter where it sits. But when I ran across this little gem I changed my mind. When they say space saving, they really mean it. I especially love that the stools tuck under the table! I ordered the Teak. I'd say it's fairly true to the picture, maybe a hair darker, but certainly not a deep brown. I'd have liked a darker brown option, but I'm still pleased with what I have. Let's talk construction. It can take some time to put this together. Granted, I went slow to make sure everything was right, but I'd say plan on a couple hours if you're constructing this solo. I just put on a movie and went to work. You will need a Phillips screwdriver briefly (for the tabletop), but most of it is put together with an Allen wrench they provide. If you have your own Allen wrench set, use it. It's not terrible, the one you get, it's just cumbersome after awhile. Take a look at the wheels before you start popping them in, as a couple of them have breaks on them, and you'll want them in a particular spot. The swing out leg when you put it on seems like it would be insecure and flimsy, but once you get the tabletop on it no longer seemed to be an issue. Some other tips: Put in the screw concealers near the handle before you put on the tabletop, it's just less hassle. When you're attaching the tabletop, screw in a screw at the front and kiddy corner on the back (a diagonal direction) and that should make attaching the other two easier. Don't tighten them all the way until you have all four screws lined up and it should be easier. When you're putting the screw concealers on, if you don't have a rubber mallet, get a small washcloth and use it as a cushion with a regular hammer. You'll get it secure without damaging the wood. Some of them will need a hammer to be secured. The stools are NOT bar stools, so they are short, but that's to line up with the table. I also use them as TV trays sometime, so I REALLY love this table! So many uses. If you're looking for an arts and crafts table or need to save space like me, do yourself a favor and pick this thing up!
