we're very happy with this product.  the leaf stores inside the unit and is very easy to flip open to expand.  The table is very well built.  You definitely need 2 people to put this thing together.  We were looking for something we can put up against a built-in bench, so we needed to find a table with a trestle base.  We bought the all black one, which is not pictured in the listing but think it looks the best.  Not sure why they don't post a picture of the all black one
