I measured twice, to make certain this would fit in my small dining area. It fits perfectly, and I added a huge, black clock as an accent. The bench really saves space when I only have four people. I just scoot the table back, and the bench fits underneath the table. I could not be happier. Just a caveat - don't hire someone to assemble it for you through Wayfair. They use a third party, and they never showed up. Wayfair was very apologetic and promptly returned my payment. I ended up hiring someone locally for much less. He did an awesome job. Thank you, Wayfair!
