I absolutely love this table!  We bought this table a year and a half ago and it's going strong.  I love that the legs are in the middle of the table.  It makes it more sturdy.  Most of the time we have it set up without the leaf in it, but when we have people staying for extended time, we have the leaf set up and it doesn't take up too much room in our smaller eat-in kitchen.  It took my husband a couple of hours to put it together, but he's not the most handy person.  I love the extra storage under the table.
