So this table was chosen for it's size and appearance.  It fits perfectly and matches a similar style to what we wanted.  When you add the chairs however, it's a different story.  It is placed in our kitchen in a space that is more narrow than most.  The narrow width of the room and length side of the table is also where passing traffic is.  When set for 2 chairs on the long side they can't scoot in because they hit the legs of the table.  It's even visible in the photo.  We saw this and took the chance and now can only have once chair on all 4 sides, even when extended.
