The table arrived packaged well. Took my husband about an hour and a half to assemble. After he got in the groove he said 'it wasn't that bad' the table/chairs look way more expensive than what I paid. Friends have been over since we assembled and all have commented on how nice the table is. I love the leaf, it's hidden under the table. It's just my husband and me, but when my 3 kids come home the leaf works perfect for the 5 of us. The table comes with 4 chairs, so when the leaf is in there's plenty of room for us. I just use my old chair from my old table. I didn't want to spend the extra money to order 2 additional chairs. If you're on the fence about this one, don't be. You will be happy with your purchase.

Pros: Looks very expensive 
Cons: A little bit time consuming to assemble.
