I just received it, a corner was damaged, customer service has been great. A furniture medic will come, if there is still a problem they will replace it. The assembly was very easy, seems sturdy, love the look. The extensions sit mostly flush (slight gaps by the corners between extensions and table). I have not used it yet, nor have I set up chairs to confirm seating quantity. I did get a few splinters while assembling, but I ran my hand over the top to see if there would be any further issues as far as splinters go, and I am not seeing a problem. Love how it looks in the dining room. I got the natural stain, and it is beautiful.
