We are a family of four, but the six seats make it nice for when company comes. I feel like it’s the prefect size for our tight knit family. No unused space. It’s very sturdy. The seat cushions are fabric, so watch with kids. I bought a fabric cleaner for accidents when they occur to prevent stains.  It also came so well packaged and protected that it was kinda a pain to unpack, but beats the alternative! Great table!
