The wood is beautiful. Very impressive. We bought this for our pool area - it is pretty compact so would be great for kids, but when my husband and his friend sat down at the table, it was clear that it only sat 3 adults not 6. So, I would say 6 kids could fit around it, or 3 adults, but otherwise, it's too tight a fit. Both men are @5'10 and 180-200 pounds.
