It's the right size.  Haven't stained it yet, although I did buy the stain today; "golden oak" to match two chairs that I re-upholstered the seats.  Perfect match.  Haven't used the table yet.  It went together pretty smoothly.  The only thing is that the drop leafs are very small.  I thought they'd be bigger/longer.  We'll see how it works for just the two of us.  It's a beautiful natural wood piece of furniture.  I'm happy with my purchase so far.  It has the perfect right in our very small kitchen.  Gives us more room that the previous table.  Just the right size.  I love the natural wood grain.
