IN THE MIX Folding Dining Table, Espresso

I am writing this review after a year of having it. Still staying up, great material, easy to fold and put away behind the couch. It is I think 3-4 inches wide when you fold it up. A little heavy but so worth it. Great quality, looks nice, and great craftsmanship.

First, read the whole description as I skimmed over it once i saw it said no assembly required. Slightly misleading since you do have to assemble the legs. (Which is also stated in the description)Packaging was great. All pieces were wrapped in protective covering and placed in sturdy foam. Outer box was not damaged at all.After unpacking and setting out all the pieces I realized there were no instructions. I looked through the reviews and questions and found a video with all the steps.The folding legs assembled easily. The side legs were annoyingly stubborn. You are supposed to slide the bottom part of the leg into the part attached to the table. It was a tight fit. I had to push with both hands and the sides scraped together enough to have the finish shave off. Next had to bolt them together. The bolts wouldn't fasten. Got a flashlight to see the problem and found metal punch out pieces still attached where the holes were drilled. I had to pull the legs back off....not easy to do.....and fish out the 4 punch out pieces. Put it back together and bolt it in place.Next was the floor protectors, which was a nice surprise since I didn't count on them caring if my floor was protected or not. They assembled easy.Folded the table up and tried to flip it over. Both sides decided to flop open. I set it down and looked for some sort of locking mechanism. There was none. I got someone to help me flip the table upright and proceeded to squish two of my fingers in the pinch points. Totally my fault, but if there was a way to lock the sides down it would be a great improvement.Flipped the table, set it in place and it was a little wibbly wobbly. All I had to do was unscrew the two floor protectors a little bit.I have it set up in the kitchen with half folded down for now. It is sturdy and looks nice. We haven't used it for dining yet, but I don't forsee and problems with the functionality. Will update if there is a clear problem or if there is something that exceeds expectations.

Very Nice! Little to assemble and very sturdy. Nice looking. I have a small dining area and this is perfect for my use and to expand the leaf when needed.

Table is ok the legs on it do not line up. But looks ok and fits where it needs too but open it wrong and you pinch your finger and it slid out on my floor and did some damage to my ankle so I'm gonna go with it is sturdy. Looks nice enough when it is up. Wish the legs where better.

Okay, this is not the most gorgeous table in the world. But it far exceeds some of its competitors for usefulness, price and multitasking. I just downsized and do not need a full size table everyday. In fact, I'll only need it a few times a year. So why take up valuable real estate? Right now I'm using it as a table behind my sofa. And I can change my mind, give it another fold and hide it away. It's light enough weight and very easy to handle. It seats four very easily. It can be used as a table for two. Between this table, a Murphy table and an expanded countertop, I can easily seat 10 before bringing out the card tables.

Exactly what I needed for my new COVID “home office”’ in my apartment. Credenza one minute, office desk the next, and even a dining table the next. Nice looking, sturdy and functional.

The table itself is great. Looks nice too. A tiny bit wobbly, but it's strong.Two minor problems: First, the color said "Espresso," but really it's just black. Second, during assembly, some of the metallic pieces didn't fit exactly the way the instructions said they would. Had to adjust it a bit and really pull at the metal hard.But after assembly, it looks great and works well. I've served 6 people sitting around it (in its large mode). The small mode fits very well in tight spaces. I like it!

This table arrived and looked nice. Easy to assemble but a huge manufacturing defect was discovered after I put the entire thing together. Hinges connected to the metal center are supposed to be welded on but on one side the hinges were either not welded correctly or are failing. See picture. Check your hinges before you assemble. I will add more stars if the seller replaces this for free. This one needs to be trashed.
