This table is very sturdy and gorgeous!  The delivery was great and it arrived within a week after it was ordered.  It was easy to put together and took my husband (a retired builder) about 20 minutes.  The color is a rich dark brown and it matched the color of my chair legs and  credenza perfectly.  My only disappointment was that three chairs wouldn't fit between the pedestal bases.  The legs on one-half of the third chair had to go on the outside of the pedestal base.  The table will accommodate 10-12 chairs.  However, I have a total of 14 chairs which the table with both leaves did tightly  accommodate and it's beautiful!
