These pictures don't fully capture how nice this piece of furniture is.  Even. in it's temporary home of my dining room, it looks greats, will seat 6 as described, is sturdy, and perfect both as a table, pictured here against a wall and an island, which is its intended use soon in a new home.  The top may not take a lot of abuse and likely will always need something protected but it is beautiful and functional.  Delivery was great, packaging secure and easy to put together. Many years of meal prep, social gatherings and conversations are sure to ensue around this table.  Highly recommend both the table and Wayfair, whose customer service from the online salespersons to their warehouse personnel and delivery persons could teach a few other companies one or two things.  Thanks again for a great experience
