Very impressive. I'm a 60 year old woman and was able to put this together in 30 minutes. Hardest part was flipping it back over because it is solid & very heavy. Looks great. It's about 37" x 42" when not extended. 12" extensions on 2 ends adds 24" to the 42" side so it becomes rectangular. It's a sort of golden oak with dark brown streaks to resemble barn board. Does not look cheap. I had no trouble with the extensions. Delivery was great. They offered to bring it in the house. Now to decide on chairs.
