I'm very cautious about any kind of online ordering, and depend largely on reviews to see what others have said. This table is amazing!! My friends and family joke that it's large enough for the "last supper". I love that it can comfortable seat at least 10 people!! I have a large Italian family and we gather around the table for Sunday dinners and for holidays (everything revolves around food, right?) The weight alone is impressive. Sturdy, solid wood construction, with a simple elegance. What a great find!
