It is so beautiful in my kitchen nook. Has so much table space to spread out with the leaf.  I can cut coupons comfortably and my daughter can spread out her homework. It's gorgeous.  I got the white/natural and it really brightens up the room.  It took my husband 1 1/2 hours to put it together and he had more troubles with the chairs than the table itself. The only downside is the small wrench that is provided with the set. It is very weak and you can easily strip the wood with it so be careful. Other than that, fantastic piece.
