Love this table! I have had it since August and couldnt be happier. It is very sturdy and great quality. I also purchased the bench which is perfect for my children to sit on. I bought different chairs to go with the table from another store though. I love the deep brown color. It isnt gray as described. The top is rough which will mask any sratches that may show after years of use. The removable leaf is long and is inserted in the table for the pictures I took. The table is big enough for 8 to sit comfortably. The one issue is the edge has a groove which captures crumbs but can easily be blown out. This table is perfect for our family!
