I waited for years to get the dining room table of my choice. And this one was it!  I love that the leaf is stored inside and you don’t have to use closet space or under the bed.  The top does scratch some what easily so I try to use place mats as much as possible. It cleans up nicely when wiped down and it’s a bit wider than an average dining table. I would recommend it for sure. It’s very heavy so fair warning when assembling it. It was easy to put together and took 4 of us to get it up right.
