In love.AlexisThis table was perfect for our space. Very cozy feeling, the drawers are so great, and feels very sturdy. It takes up very little space but is perfect for our breakfast nook! 5
Nice table HonGot this for my apartment to save space when I don’t need the full size table. It’s convenient to be able collapse it down and use it as a side table next to the couch. 5
Great space saving optionAdamI love how when both sides of the table are folded down it acts as a shelf and storage. 5
for use in a makeshiftMeganfor use in a makeshift home office this is a dream. the design is so smart and has been a great improvement to the previous makeshift desk. we added wheels to make the desk easy to move when not in use and needing to be stored, and think ikea should consider adding that modification to the design in the future.5
This Is Our Second Purchase of NordenHowardCan't think of a better endorsement than to buy another one... using both on a daily basis.5
Love the table!Verified BuyerI really love this table…perfect for my craft room. So solid and compact…yet spacious when open. The only thing I want to change is I have wheels to add for moving it around, but I can’t figure out how to remove the floor glides from the holes in the bottom of the legs so I can put the wheels in…any ideas??5
Have a good impact driver handy when assemblingLoriThe NORDEN birch gateleg table is an attractive, versatile, & sturdy piece of furniture that fits beautifully in a small space & can be easily moved, in spite of its weight, if you set it on furniture sliders. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to assemble properly unless you've got a good impact driver & are able to bear down on the driver with at least 50 pounds of pressure. The machine screws provided to hold the hinges in place may work well for the NORDEN white gateleg table, which is, apparently, made largely of particle board. But the solid wood birch table needs wood screws. Screws with a different head than the slip-prone Phillips head would also help. I did manage to assemble the table myself with a combination of a manual screwdriver & a battery-powered screwdriver, but because I couldn't tighten the screws well enough to sit flush with the hinges, the table was both unstable & looked like garbage. My boyfriend fixed it for me--with much effort--using his impact driver.2

Rock solid tableWarrenRock solid table, using in wifes’s sewing/ craft room. Probably nicest furniture available from Ikea.5
not the same color as picturedMishelleDisappointed in the color. The website shows a natural finish but when we got home and pulled it out of the box it was a horrible white washed color. We like the table itself so we plan on sanding it and putting a natural finish on it but that is a bit of work. Overall it was easy to put together and nice and sturdy, just the color that was a let down. 3
Multipurpose tableCarlaEasy to put together, used electric screwdriver, and multifunctional. Super heavy though so I don’t plan to move it. Thought about adding casters to make it easier to move but don’t want to raise the height that much.
A bit expensive I thought.5
Easy to assembleCarolI'm handicapped, with back issues. I was able to assemble this by myself. Just follow the step- by- step instructions.5
Awesome productAnnThis table was easy to assemble, good, heavy materials and overall it surpassed my expectations.5
Norden .Gateleg TableLoriPurchased for in my 1949 Spartan Trailer as it was very similar to the original folding table that came with it. Very easy to assemble and very sturdy/solid. Will last for many years and matches the original birch interior with a bit of stain/finish! Love it.5
Fantastic Table!CarlorIt is so beautiful! I use it for my sewing work. It is sturdy, sleek, and very well made. I love it! My husband and I put it together in about a 50 minutes, without any problems.5
Norden tableStephanieWe purchased this item for our new office. It is compact, yet allows for more seating when needed.5
Very pleased with it!EleanorI really like this table. It's so nice to be able to have it opened up or closed to take up a small amount of space. The drawers are quite small, but there are six of them.4
Desk/Table ThomasWhat a great item! Fairly easy to put together and looks great ! 4
Games, Puzzles, and CraftsCandiceI chose this table for its size flexibility, mostly. It is perfect for playing games, puzzles, and crafts. The six storage drawers provide the organization so needed and gives handy access. I also purchased two Kyrre stools which conveniently store under one wing when opened. Love it!5
