Pretty much exactly as described, however it says you can only have the benchs in one way but my husband easily switched it so we have the longer bench on the side we wanted. The size is great for our family of five, which includes three children, but probably wouldnt suggest for five large adults. Its a great board game table! The small storage area in the bench is perfect for placemats and other small flat items. Only reason not a five star, I wish the grey top looked more realistic to wood. Overall tho, really cute table and nooks are great for trapping children in at meal times lol
