The table is 45” exactly, which they depict. If you look up bar height, you’ll get 41-46”, putting this at the taller end. There are lots of reviews about the latch not holding well, which is true, but I’m not convinced it will matter, since this table is too high to really lean on at all. It’s more of a display table or if you want to set your drink up high to the side. Nothing you’re going to comfortably stand around with others with your drinks and a small plate. Other than the latch, it feels pretty sturdy, I’m not worried about it blowing over in the wind if I have an outside event. The height and smaller table surface also means normal table cloths don’t fit properly, so maybe I’ll go with the sleek metal look.Update: I reassembled it without the latch that everyone complains about. It feels sturdier and is 1.5” shorter. The fitted table cloths you’ll see advertised with it still don’t fit, but it’s also sleek enough on it own, so you don’t have to cover it up like you might folding tables. I’m keeping it!

The table arrived well packaged. Easy to assemble. The only issue I had, was, the catch mechanism didn't work correctly. This mechanism is only on the 'Foldable Table Top"type. Anyway, I ended-up scewing the table top down, as to stop the dishes ended-up on the floor.

We bought two of these for a holiday cocktail party we hosted at our house Dec 2023, same motivation and hopes like many of you reading this. Be warned: while the quality of the tables themselves is solid enough, the setup instructions are TERRIBLE, and worst of all, if you manage to follow the assembly instructions--and make leaps of faith using your intuition to fill in the blanks--you are still left with an assembled table that will not close properly, thus make it completely unusable.To wit: if you lean on the table or place a heavy object on the side opposite the latch connecting the tabletop to the base, it will collapse/fold downward and whatever is on the table will go flying. Simply put, the machine tooling of the latch is terrible.Unfortunately, once you assemble a table, you're in for a penny, in for a pound as it's a big pain to dis-assemble, re-box, and return each table. So you look in desperation (the night before your big party, having already spent an hour trying to follow the cr** instructions), to MacGyver a fix. Miraculously, AMZN reviewer "DIYSC" provides one: "There IS a manufacturing shortfall with the part K tilting mechanism - but it is easily fixed with a bit of attention and a flat file." Seek out his instructions here if you've already made the fatal plunge in buying one of these tables. Otherwise, avoid these like the plague until the manufacturer addresses the "part K tilting mechanism" foul up. I really wanted to love these tables. Instead it took us forever to assemble them and figure out the fix, which included putting a rubber tube inside each latching mechanism to help keep the latch from flying open when even the slightest pressure is applied (see pics). Deserves zero stars, maybe one star with the MacGyver fix.

I normally don't write reviews but feel I have to when I see unjustified negative reviews for what I think is an outstand product and value. I assembled this in less than 10 minutes only having to take a quick glance at what I feel were very clear directions. I literally probably spent less time putting this table together than others posting the process they went through. For the price I don't think you will find a better value on Amazon or anywhere else for that matter. As you can see by the photo it looks fantastic and is extremely sturdy. Unbelievable at well under $100.00. I do up to a dozen tradeshows a year and the booth furniture gets treated pretty rough by the folks that pack and unpack. I have no doubt this table will hold up much better than the previous inferior tables that ended up in a dumpster. Please, do yourself a favor and disregard all of the negative reviews. This purchase gets my highest rating!

Arrived very poorly packed with several small dents in the rim of the table top. The column is marked/stained and will need polishing before use. Assembly was fairly straightforward for anyone used to IKEA type products, but with many more parts than would be expected - the central column alone for instance consists of 5 main parts plus nuts, washers and bolts, plus the hinge at the top. Care must be taken to align a small ridge on the top and bottom of the column fixings so that the top tips at a safe angle i.e. aligned to a leg of the base to prevent tipping. This isn’t clear in the small illustrations enclosed. A small and ill-fitting spanner is supplied. Stupidly, I tried to use it and skinned my knuckles before retreating to my tool box and getting a proper spanner to use. I doubt very much if the spanner supplied could safely be used to tighten the nuts adequately. The hinge is poorly cast with flimsy springs on the catch. The base is not solid but a pressing with a small cast iron or steel star inside to provide weight in the centre. Once assembled the table has a cheap, functional appearance and is just about stable, but does not feel solid, nor does it look nice enough (in my view) for use inside a house. I consider this table to be over-priced and poorly made. I hope this review is helpful.

I love the aesthetics of the table, very tall as I was desiring it to be!! It is sturdy once you twist as the parts securely. The circumference of the table top is larger than expected and very much needed. Only concern is the lack of thorough instructions, don't worry you can find a detail video on youtube to assist. Just type in the name of the product order and you are set!Overall I would recommend this product!

This is a sturdy table with easy to adjust legs to make it steady on uneven surfaces. It's taller than many might want at 45 inches per my measurement. I can see why people who are used to step by step instructions with labeled parts would complain about the assembly but it's actually quite easy to assemble if you read through the reviews and follow a few simple suggestions. Since there are so many complaints about the instructions, I've been meaning to write this review for some time but it's been a while so I may not be perfect in the below suggestions.1. The nut and bolt which hold the base weight to the base for shipping purposes is just that - for shipping purposes. My memory is that it has no part in the assembly so add it to your collection or throw it away after you've finished assembly. Just make sure you've finished assembly before discarding it since the parts could have changed so I assembled mine.2. Make sure you have a good 17mm (that's my memory) wrench and, if also available, socket wrench, to finish off tightening as the final step. That will give you a very sturdy table.3. It has very few parts, all of which can be identified by the photos, and the diagrams show where each part (and how many) go. It just takes a little study but not that much since there are so few parts.4. The best suggestion I read was to build upside down. Securely attach the the folding bracket to the table top, then attach the support rod to the bracket, then slide on the support tubes with the middle connector, then the base, then the base weight and then attach it all together with a washer, split washer and two nuts. Note that there is a notch in the bottom tube that fits into a slot in the base that keeps it from rotating. Securely attaching the folding bracket to the table top and then the two nuts to the bottom weight gives a very sturdy table. This is a really good place to use a socket wrench to make it quite tight.5. Note that the middle support rods are not totally screwed together or into the folding bracket or there won't be enough threads left to attach the bottom weight. I didn't realize that until the end of my first time through and had to remove the bottom legs and middle tubes to lengthen the support rods. That took all of an extra couple of minutes.As noted, the table is taller than many might want (45 inches per my measurement) and requires some pretty good engineering skills and the right tools to shorten. We ultimately decided it was too tall and, at the risk of the purchase price, I shortened it five inches, which made it a perfect height for us. I would not recommend doing that unless you're really good at that sort of thing and have the right tools. Even with that, I got lucky and it worked out. The process included (i) removing half of the folding bracket to use as a large washer (the support tubes don't fit flush against the table top so I used a portion of the folding bracket for that purpose), (ii) drilling out the folding bracket so the support rod could screw directly to the table top and (iii) shortening both the support rod and support tubes. Again, I don't recommend trying this. If a 45 inch tall table is too tall for you, I suggest not buying this table. If that height works for you, then this is a great table for the price.
