This states that it extends to an 8 seater table. I measured to ensure that it fit in the space I had but blindly trusted that it was a 6 seater that extends to 8. Suffice to say I will have it extended all the time and even then 8 people is very cosy. It's also not the sturdiest on the extensions and was very tricky to put together. But it does the job and looks good.
