Love this table! It’s exactly what we wanted. A table that can handle 6-8 people at its smallest and up to 12-14 at its full length. A solid and beautiful table…that requires a much larger rug! My husband is happy that he can push himself up and the table doesn’t move. It’s sturdy and was fairly easy to put together, (with the two of us), no issues at all! We all sat around the table, 8 of us, with comfort and elbow room to spare. It does NOT have a compartment to store the extendable leaves, you have to place them somewhere else. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this product and highly recommend!
