This is a beautiful table. It compliments my small mid-century dining area perfectly. 

I have not had the problem with the surface scratching easily, as some other reviewers have said. It's certainly not because I'm just careful, since I have two kids who frequently do homework at this table and a cat that likes to use it as a launch pad to jump onto the bar. It still looks as nice as it did when when I bought it 6 months ago. 

We usually only have four chairs at the table (two on each of the long sides), but it can comfortably seat six if we use side chairs at the ends.

I would recommend this table to anyone looking for something for a smaller dining room.
