My new dining set came today and it is GORGEOUS! Seriously, I am so in love with this set! Not to mention, it super easy to set up, and you can definitely fit six people comfortably between the two benches. It would definitely be a tight sueeze fitting four on one bench as the picture shows, unless they sitters are kids. But seriously, I couldn't be any more happy with this set!! I can't wit until I can purchase some chairs from here to add two more seats. You have to do a little maneuvering to get the benches under the table, but it's subtle, and most table and bench seats today require you to do such.  This went above and beyond my expectations: it's perfection.
