I love this dining table! It is very well made and heavy. It takes at least 2 people to assemble but, it is more than worth it. As other reviewers had said, I personally did not like the chrome accent at the bottom of the table base so, we decided to leave it off and it's perfect! The finish is a beautiful high gloss white lacquer which is very durable. I love not having to panic if I see a glass on the table without a coaster. It comfortably sits 7 and we can even add an 8th chair without it feeling too overcrowded. Last but not least, it is gorgeous!
