I have had this table on my wish list for a long time! It is EXACTLY what I had hoped for! So sturdy and solid. Absolutely beautiful. The bench is on its way. 3 chairs will fit along the back and 2 chairs on the sides. It took 2 of us to assemble but it was not hard at all. Add some felt tips on the bottom to be able to move it around in the hard wood with no scratches. Don’t delay! You will love it!!
