This table is beautiful, just as pictured on the website! Didn’t like that it took about 3 weeks to receive, but couldn’t beat the price for the style & quality with any furniture store, so I was willing to be patient. It took my husband about 5 hours on his own to put together. It’s very spacious, the nook fits my husband, me, and our 3 kids without using the extra bench. On the bench alone, my 3 kids could sit together, so I’d say this table is perfect for 6-8 people. We’re happy with our purchase.
