I have the 48" table, which comfortably seats 4 (legit, introvert comfortable... not crammed in).  It would be easy to add a 5th chair if needed.  6 chairs is pushing it, but could work for playing board games, etc... not so much for dining.  The top is textured.  Might want to consider that if you have messy, crumb-producing eaters.  Lots of nooks and crannies.  I haven't really put it to the test yet, but worst case I could break out a can of compressed air to dislodge anything.  The color is accurate to the pictures others are posting.  We really love the table.  It's super solid, no wobbling or anything.  I feel like the legs even have little adjustable feet under them to keep it level on uneven floors.  If you're considering, just keep in mind that the cleanup is a bit more involved than just wiping it down.
