We love the aesthetic of this table! It truly does seat six before you pull out the leaf. For the price it is incredibly solid and assembly was a snap. Within ten minutes we had the legs attached to the base and the table was ready to go. The way the leaf stores inside the base of the table is genius. You slide the sides of the table to take the leaf out, and then the leaf snaps in with clips underneath the table. The only real drawback we saw was that the sides of the table stuck a little on one side when we were pulling out the leaf. If you like mid century modern aesthetic for an incredibly affordable price, this table is a great find.
