LOVE this table. The other reviews are correct that the benches don't fit totally underneath, but that would look kind of odd to me so I don't mind it. It's a beautiful, sturdy table that I was able to put together myself and easily sit 6 people. I was going to buy chairs for either end, but seriously not necessary. Also, looks great on a 9x7 rug or larger, but anything smaller than that and it might hang off the edge. Gotten so many compliments so far for a table under $500, best purchase for my new house by far.
