I LOVE this table! The top is smooth and attractive, and there’s leg room for everyone! I had a tablecloth on it but decided I preferred the appearance of the bare tabletop. I’ll just add a festive runner for the holidays. The table is long enough to put 3 chairs on either side, plus a chair at each end. For seating 8, it takes up far less room than my previous clunky traditional wood table. Also, I put it together by myself in an hour, just needed help to flip it upright. Was praying that all the holes would match up and they did!
