I was skeptical at first. I thought only half of the table shipped but when I opened the box, I was surprised that the table top came in two halves. It wasnt noticeable in the product photos. I was also worried about the table height but once it was assembled it was perfect height for the chairs I had. This was purchased as a last minute item to fulfill the need for extra seating for a gathering. The table seats 4-5 comfortably and 6 uncomfortably. I will be gifting this to a family member as I now want a slightly larger permanent table that is Teak. This was a great buy and with minimal care, should last for years to come.
