LOVE this table, it was exactly what I was looking for. I can fit 8 metal chairs around it, even though the end chairs are blocked by bars by the feet. It was easy to assemble, good directions. Directions say not to tighten anything completely, then turn the table upright and make sure it doesn't wobble and is level, then go back and tighten everything completely. I think that's a good idea and my table is level and sturdy now. I really hope the wood top holds up. Other reviews have mentioned it fading, etc. I decided to take a change because the table was so perfect. Top is wood, legs are metal.
