Delivery took a lot longer than expected I think it got lost at the delivery warehouse for 3 weeks. Joss and main customer service were so helpful and nice! It FINALLY Arrived undamaged in 2 heavy boxes. You'll  Definitely need 2 strong ppl to assemble the base to the top then the lifting part is fun!! 
with the leaf it's Oblong. I want the round look and I have 6 larger chairs around it. They touch but it's enough room its 51" without leaf. Good value!!
