Nice size 24" x 24"; has a backsplash. Top shelf is reinforced by a substrate making it sturdy and rigid. Bottom shelf is not reinforced so flexible -- not meant to hold heavy weight -- it is a stabilizer for the legs. As with a lot of Chinese product; horrible instructions, but not hard to figure out on your own. With the little help the instructions does give you, and a basic understanding of what must go up and what must go down -- not too difficult to assemble. I laid the top upside down on the dog's thick dog pillow so as not to scratch it with the floor. Because of the backsplash it could not lay flat. Putting the dog bed under it gave it the cushion it needed to support the backsplash while I assembled it; and the dog was willing to contribute to the project. The only really difficult, and annoying, problem I had was removing the protective film. I noticed that it said on the box to remove the film within 30 days of packaging. I suspect that film was attached for a lot longer than 30 days between the journey to the USA and the time it sat in a warehouse waiting for someone to purchase it. I did not think I would ever get it off -- it took a real effort. But I did get the film off and the table cleaned up nice. It is being used as a support for a counter top oven while we remodel the kitchen. So easy to clean up spills. Once that project is done, I will relocate the table to the shop. It will be a great flat surface for working with polymer clay and other such crafts.
