I needed a 42 round dining table for my small dining area and I searched for over a year and didnt find anything reasonably priced. I saw this double-drop leaf table during one of my insomniac travels and thought for the price it was worth the try - at least in the interim! All wood, right size, great price, and I really liked the simple shape/style (most gate leg tables are pretty ornate).
The first and second table I got came badly dented but was fantastic and made the returns super easy and shipped the next table with Fedex and this time it arrived unharmed.
The leafs dont line up perfectly, and you can see the wood finger joints, and the folding brackets are exposed across the legs -- but for the price I dont care. BUT as others have mentioned the legs do need something to keep them in place - this is partly a design flaw (which most gate leg drop leaf tables seem to have) and partly due to the crappy furniture leg feet/pads they provide. If you have this table on a rug the issue might not be as bad but on hardwood floors its downright dangerous. The whole table/legs can slide and leafs can drop with just a gentle push! I knew rubber feet were the answer. So heres my fix: This table requires M6 Adjustable Thread Screw On Leveling Feet. So I bought some uxcell M6 16mm Male Thread Rubber Vibration Isolator Mounts.
Now the table and the gate legs do not even budge. The tabletop still wiggles a little when I try shaking it... or when Im cutting a steak. But for under $100 this table might stick around for far longer than I first gave it credit for.
This table is beautifully finished, folds into a very compact shape and works perfectly for tea, handwriting notes, coloring, working jigsaw puzzles -- you name a quiet occupation and this table will work for it. Mine is outdoors in an insulated shed and Im hoping it will stay temperate enough there during a New England winter for the table to stay safe.
Because its made from solid wood, it is a bit heavy for one person to carry around. But I did get it unpacked, put together and located in the shed, which I use as a 4-season outdoor room, all by myself.
This is a pretty great table. Could be sturdier and there was one hole that was drilled improperly so one of the screws couldnt be screwed in (thus the wobbliness), but the aesthetic quality of the table was so great that we used it in a commercial for a Kickstarter project. You can see the table in the video that we shot (its extremely high res so you can see the grain quality of the wood - lovely!!!).
Heres the link to the video:
I would absolutely buy it again. The convenience of folding it away is great too.

Perfect for our fifth wheel, we can collapse it down when not needed.

Gorgeous solid wood table looks even better in person and on film

Great buy
Table is well made and fits in the area without being overwhelming. Folds up very small and allows flexibility.
Nice table
Nice table easy to put together!!

Good fit for a small space, surprisingly sturdy for a double drop leaf table.
Handy and Handsome Gaming Table
Item exactly as described and shipped promptly. This table is just what we were looking for as it stores conveniently due to the drop leaf feature.
