This table is sturdier and better constructed than my other puzzle tables. The table top is heavy but it is easy to set it in the tilt position. I was not a fan of the green felt on it, as a background to puzzles, until I saw the tilted position. It makes perfect sense. Some felt is needed. The drawers are easy to slide out. The handles are in the last drawer you open at the precise moment you decide the zip tie like things could work for awhile. We selected the short table so it could be put on our regular table or even on the floor when doing puzzles or playing games with children. It gives different heights for doing puzzles. It's sturdy enough that with a couple of cushions and a table cloth, it could make a great dining table too.
