I LOVE this table!  Looks very high end and the length is amazing!  Can comfortably fit 12 when fully extended, and we usually fit 14.  The leaves are very easy to use (either one or both), and the table locks into place, keeping the pieces tightly together.  The only drawback in my opinion is that the two slabs don't match up when the table is closed.  I would have preferred them to be more level with each other.  But, it doesn't take away from the charm of the table.  The legs also add character, as they have a really neat scroll.  This table has gotten a lot of compliments.  Looks like it's from Restoration Hardware, without the price tag!  Very pleased
