This is a really cute  table, smaller than I expected - but that's my fault for not closely reading the specifications. It gives my breakfast area a welcoming, cottage feel. The top can be folded to make the table narrower, or opened out to widen it to seat up to four. The top slides on tracks to position it to open or slide it back to fold closed, and then latches with old-fashioned suitcase-type buckles to hold it in place. My only quibble with it is when the table is opened to make it wider, the top is ever-so-slightly uneven and butterflies up a tiny bit - it doesn't quite flatten completely down when the latches are fastened, but that hasn't kept us from enjoying using it for meals. The table is solid and heavy, but easy to assemble. It came well-packaged and protected. Needs a nice runner, mats or tablecloth to protect the top. Looks great with a pitcher of flowers as a centerpiece!
