Well, it was accidentally intentional... or intentionally accidental? Basically, in order to make it fold up and roll on the wheels the legs had to be longer than the sides that folded down. We didn't realize this at first so when we went to do the legs we realized they had to be 44" tall... which turned out to be way too tall.
This was something I took heavily into consideration for the second table, and this one is more reasonable. It's only 30" high, just a couple inches above typical table height I believe.
