I will start with the positives, because I was satisfied with the purchase. Although it is a cheap piece of furniture with the corresponding quality, it is definitely worth the money. If you have a small space and every square meter is precious but you don't want to get a folding table, this is an ideal solution. Assembly is not difficult, with a screwdriver or a simple Phillips screwdriver (we used a screwdriver) and a hammer it can be done in one or two hours, depending on your experience and if you have help. It has ready-made recesses and marks for everything, even for where the hinges should go. It also comes with extra screws etc. for safety. I was worried about its durability or that it would not be stable at all, but after assembly we saw that it is stable and quite reliable.

On the negative side: The assembly instructions were just a photocopy—informative but of poor resolution and print size. The numbers are barely distinguishable and we spent about ten minutes figuring it out (I included a photo of part of the photocopy for help). The hinges seemed risky and unreliable to us and although so far they seem fine, we keep in mind that we might need to replace them with better quality ones (maybe we won't need to). I have no opinion on long-term use yet, so far satisfied. (11/30/23: a year later, keep in mind the frames/legs that support the table extensions because some of the joints open up. However, the table is still in place and functional, it mainly fits up to 4 chairs) (2/12/26: we are still using this table, we only used a little wood glue on the joints of the legs that support the leaves when they open and nothing else, it holds up well and hasn't peeled or anything yet)
