After lots of research I initially felt confident with this purchase- until it arrived. The top is thin and the legs are thick so it's not a cohesive substantial look. The material it's covered with has bubbles, scratches easily, shows everything, and chips. You can fit more people if you have the base curving inward. Going the other direction you'll only be able to fit 1 chair on each side. Assembly is ok but there are flaws. If you want to change the base direction, you have these black stickers covering the other set of holes. It also affects accessing screws bc of the floor protector pad placement.
