Can definitely fit 6 people, and if you would like, 1 on each end. The color is farmhouse, but not too country looking. We have more of a warm, traditional, yet clean lined style. It fits right in. It does need to be sanded, oiled, and then polyurethane sealed. If you do not mind doing that, then it is the table for you. The under part of the table's edge tore the skin off the top of my hand when I brushed past it with raising my hand off my lap. Other than that, a great piece of furniture!
