Wayfair sent me a second table- because the first was damaged (look closely at your corners).  If you have the right spot and decor- you'll love this table and chair set-up.  It is tight for 6 but, perfect for 4.  This table is: different from anything you're friends will likely have and it is built like a tank.  The turn-buckles below are real and not a soul who sees it up close believes that the parts made to look like metal... aren't really metal!  This is the best purchase I've ever made on Wayfair very pleased.
