I know I should have measured and confirmed it would work for my table needs, but the base to this table is nearly as wide as the top. My chairs do not push under the table as I would like. 
It actually looks like my chairs are sticking out the picture on the website is so bad! 
But the measurements do accurately reflect what is shown under the item description-so my fault there.
I am a visual person and mostly a visual buyer. So I warn buyers to look at the dimensions!
