I live in a small studio apartment. Could this be used as a dining table? Are the leaves strong enough to support a table setting? What would be the height with the wheels off?

It could be used as a one or two person dining table. It's quite strong. My mom in law uses it all the time for food prep. The wheels are maybe 3", so it would be three inches shorter than specs without wheels. Very nice unit.

IF you get it assembled, it's quite sturdy with sliding horizontal braces beneath the leaves. Height with wheels is just under 34''; without it's about 29 1/2''

Yes. Height without wheels is 29 inches. Yes, it would easily support table settings at both ends.

The wood on the back is the same as top and sides. Might be a little higher than you want, get out a tape measure and see if the height is right. I think it would be adorable as a coffee table.

It could. I wouldn't buy this table if you're looking for really high quality, durable wood/finish. It's extremely practical if you don't have a dining room and want to eat off a higher platform than a regular coffee table (I turn it into a desk when I work from home as well!), want the extra storage, etc. Beyond that, the table isn't going to look great after a year or so of use, depending on how much you beat it up with spillage, no-coasters, etc. The top has a little wood split running horizontally too. All-in-all, don't buy this if you're looking for something really "nice", it's not meant to be nice, it's meant to be functional. It could.

Provided that the surface is strong enough, yes. It is rather large so I would perhaps measure out the dimensions to make sure you like the look of it. But it doesn't seem to run hot or anything that would be of concern for setting on a table.

Its taller than my kitchen table with the casters on measures around 36 inches. With the drop leaf up its possible to use as a eating table if you don't mind the height

Absolutely. It's not heavyweight--that is, not like oak and cherry woods, but it's a great little table. Our renters fold it up after meals because their kitchen is so-o-o tiny, and then, of course, it becomes the dumping place for books, mail, keys, homework, lunch pails, says the mom using it now. We found it to be a perfect fit for that kitchen; in your entry, what could happen? You could put a bouquet of flowers (real water) on it, I'm sure. This would not be so true, I guess, if your kids use the entry for brother wrestling matches and horseplay!

I would not advise you to put that much weight on this table. It is very wobbly and could easily tip with the slightest bump. It is really just a pretty little table for maybe a nicknack. I was disappointed on the quality. Tried to use it as a nightstand and found it too wobbly.

Outside measurement of legs is 10", so if table top at 11 3/4 " isn't a problem, you should be fine. Great table for small spaces!

I bought this for my husband, who's 6'3", to use as a work area for RC. He sits at it with a regular kitchen table chair, so I'd say it would be fine for card games and such. We LOVE this table - sturdy, yet portable. Hope this answers your question!

It's as long as an average size coffee table, so it would work well as a foot rest, in my opinion. It's quite spacious on the inside and is sturdy. I love mine and am thinking of getting a second one to use as a coffee table. For the price, it can't be beat. It is a beautiful piece of furniture.

I use this table for displaying at craft fairs. It is easy to carry and set up. I guess you can put anything on it keeping in mind it is plastic....I'm not sure how to answer your question. I would imagine it would be fine for brief periods of time. It's a portable table not living room furniture.

This will work very well for you. It's approx 3/4 of an inch thick. Just add some sort of board and use it as a table top so the corners don't droop. Smart idea.

I do not think so. It looks more like a cart when it is put together. I gave this as a gift to someone and while it looks nice I would not use it as a dining table.

No, I don't think so. But we love our set. The table is REALLY bigger than you think. I don't have room to put the leaf in because of the size of my room. You could always recover...I like the color, it's really neutral and with the black and dark wood, it's really beautiful.Good Luck-

This is a beautiful unit when the wood is stained. I would not recommend it for sitting on, even though it is more than study enough to seat an adult. In fact it could seat a couple of adults, but pay attention to the height of the unit. Their feet probably would not be touching the ground. If that does not make any difference to you, then it will certainly work for seating. I did not do any sanding with the wood and simply stained it a natural cedar color and it is beautiful and well designed.

I use it for a desk and my desk chair fits. However it's really poor quality, and too narrow to use as a dining room table except for a single person. I'd advise you to look for something else. Mine's two years old and I am hunting for a replacement. The finish is terrible and it's shaky now.

I sit at an architects drawing table that is at standing height. It has so many adjustments that you are bound to find a combination of settings that are just right for you. The one concern I had was for stability when leaning clear back - not to worry. It has five legs/rollers and it is Very sturdy. I feel like I could jump on it (I really haven't tried it! No sense pushing your luck) and it would stand the abuse. I absolutely love mine.
