It's a beautiful table and I've received many compliments on it! Sturdy and heavy and overall great quality. The only minor thing that might annoy some people is that chairs don't scoot in all the way under the table when you are using it to seat 8. You can't push the chair all the way in, it hits the bottom legs of the table and I think it's because the table is on the narrow side. But I love the dimensions. Doesn't bother me but might bother some.
