I purchased the Dakota table from Lumisource to use in a 700 or so square feet apartment. It will be paired with dinner table height bar stools with backs. I put the table together myself, with a false start. There is no lever to raise and lower the table. So, when I decided bar height was much too high (and kind of lopsided) I had to take the table apart and reassemble it at dinner table height. That was accomplished without stripping the threads.The Dakota table looks as if it cost more than its modest price. It is small enough to fit on one side wall of my living room, but big enough for two people to dine on. I look forward to using it when my chairs arrive.
