Very easy and intuitive assembly, directions are clear. Shipping left one minor mark on the table surface, but overall it came it very good condition. The butterfly leaf extends easily and looks lovely. It is a perfect size for four people, but even with the leaf the interior legs don't expand so there isn't much more room for chairs. To fit six people around the table you would need very narrow chairs or to have diners straddle to table legs on the long edge of the table. We only use it for eating with 2-3 people normally and find eating with 4 or more the leaf allows extra space for setting serving dishes down. Functional table and aesthetically pleasing design.
