This is a pretty nice breakfast bar. I got it on sale and it was shipped from amazon right away. Assembling it was a pain but it wasn't overly complicated. The worst part about assembling it was using the tiny glue bottle. Also, the little stoppers that you are supposed to put on the side of the drawers (so they don't fall out) don't really stay in place. The screw-hole covers don't like to stay on either, but that's to be expected. All in all, once it was assembled it looks very cute and compact. I like how it has wheels so I can easily convert it from the small breakfast bar to the drop-leaf table.

I bought this for my studio apartment a few months ago. While it solves the dilemma of limited countertop space in my studio it is not without it's faults. It is made out of decent wood but many of the pre-drilled holes are slightly off which makes for a pain when putting it together. Also, the misaligned holes means that the drawers don't slide out as effortlessly as they should. Lastly, the provided pegs meant for covering the screw holes constantly fall out since they are too big. But overall this thing serves it purpose and doesn't look too bad. With a little trial and error during it's assembly it can be made to work without a hitch. I wouldn't mind recommending this to someone with a small space such as mine but it's definitely not perfect.

This table came damaged. The top, when assembled at the factory, splintered due to the bolts used to assemble it. However, I called the company and they did send a replacement top. I had to fax the company that makes the table the Amazon receipt - which I printed out from my online account - and the order form that came with the table. Two weeks went by and I had not heard from them. I called to check on the order. It took them two days to find it and then I had to insist on a return call. When their customer service agent called, they had no idea how long it would take or if they could even take care of the order. At that point, I asked for a manager and communication improved. The manager gave me 2 follow up phone calls. I received the table top about 5 - yes FIVE - weeks after faxing my order. Once I received the top, I have enjoyed the table.

This breakfast cart was very easy to assemble and it seems pretty sturdy, although I've only had it for a few days. Great price and fast shipping were a plus. The drop leaf can easily accomodate two people for a meal and the stools hide away neatly underneath when the leaf is down. In all, a great product for a small kitchen.

This breakfast bar is the perfect size for a small space. It is large enough to have a meal for two on, the stools are not very high but seat average sized adults comfortably. When the drop leaf is lowered it works well as additional cooking/counter space. The wheels also have brakes on them to keep it in place when needed. It is very well made, the only complaint is that the tool they provide is not very useful, I had a spare standard sized Allen-wrench and it worked well.

The table top came broken, there is no phone # to call the company, you have to complete a parts request. I sent that several weeks ago and have heard nothing from the company. Aside from that the quality is okay and it is exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully the new top will arrive soon.

I actually think that this set is bigger than I expected. It is very sharp looking and nice. It's good for a studio or a small space. I got it because when we actually buy a big house I can use it there too. It has wheels and moves around easily even on carpet. The leaf opens up pretty big. The stools are good size for me but I am 5'1. If you are tall and long legged it may be a little uncomfortable. I really like this set because I have such a small apartment and really just wanted back up seating for the occasional get together and a place to set things and occasionally have dinner. I put this together myself it took maybe 2 hours but I am not very handy and was watching my baby. It wasn't too hard but I took off a star because it wasn't easy to assemble either and the glue does suck. I got a separate super glue to glue in little bits.

I purchased this Item last year but just recently put it together. I had an old breakfast bar that was life size the bar was of a height that felt like a real bar stool this Item seems small and almost toy like. It is just slightly higher then a regular table. perhaps 4" I am just 6 feet tall and like I said I would have rather have paid more and gotton a grown ups breakfast bar. I use it in my ofice as a storage shelf now....

the product is as pictured and serves well any space saving needs - the only problem is the screws do not want to stay put - even with two adults tightening them - a few still want to work their way out - I thought about buying an electric drill with hex head attachments to see if I could tighten up the screws more - I am still waiting for one hex head screw or bolt that was missing

this arrived ok, after putting the whole thing together we got to the very last piece and the wood was broken clean. Called c/s amazon the were great to send another set to take the broken piece out and send the rest back. Problem..... ABF Freight Systems, the compnay that ships all Amazon purchases, will only deliver between 9 am-5:00 pm and MUST HAVE A SIGNATURE TO DELIVER. What are you supposed to do while you are at work? I contacted ABF several times to tell them I would sign a waiver to just put the package on my doorstep and they refused. I will no longer use amazon's standard shipping and use UPS instead. I still 30 days later have not reced my new parts. If you work, better have someone at delivery address to sign for items or you will be charged a "storage fee" by ABF.
