I love this transformer table. It doubles in size, to 106 inches. Compressed sits 4 possible 6 if you squeeze in the end. My chairs fit under for storage, which was a big thing for me. Extended could be 8 or 10. The color says dark brown but I would call it charcoal grey. Has stabilizers on each leg in case you want to nail it down. Which would help ro extend it, as it holds the table down. Extension needs 2 people otherwise. It makes a modern statement, it’s so sleek. The table pieces are stacked and pull out by lifting the top and pulling the bottom piece up and out. Watch your fingers!  Delivery was good couple of minor paint issues, fixable. My husband loves it too and he hates everything i buy,
