This was a gift for my sisters 40th birthday and she put it together in just an hour. It has an adjustable height size which makes this a great option for anyone short or tall. It is very sturdy and even though it is heavy, it is worth every penny for its value as you won't need to buy another sewing table again. Functionally, it has additional shelving on the bottom and the end can fold up so it can fit in a smaller area. Just be sure you look at the original measurement sizes as it can get taller, shorter, and wider as well. The design was pretty easy to put together and the instructions were clear when putting it together. A great gift to give or even just get for yourself if you're just starting to sew, quilt, etc or even for the experienced. Great table!
