We bought this to use as a kitchen table to seat more than 4 people when we have company over.   Without the leaf in, to fit 6 would  be tight but for a family of 4 on a daily basis it is great.   It does take time to put it together, it was not hard just a lot with an Allen key.  

Our biggest complaint was shipping.  We never received the call 30 minutes prior to delivery and when the boxes were delivered (we were not home) it looks like they went through a tree grinder.  The corners were all ripped open and the styrofoam inside was even exposed.  Thankfully, the table and chairs were not damaged.

We are happy with this kitchen set.   Looks great and the price is just right!
