I ordered this table because I wanted a Parsons style table for my kitchen that didn’t come with the big price tag.  The top is not as thick as a traditional Parsons style, but this table is beautiful and incredibly easy to put together.  My 12 year old assembled the table in about 10 minutes.  It does have a glossy finish so I will heed  the other reviews and avoid using  harsh cleaners on it.  So far it cleans easily with a damp cloth.   Paired with 4 mid-century wishbone chairs it is the perfect addition to my kitchen.  It will seat 6 chairs with two at the ends if pulled away from the wall.  The top is a tad slippery, so placemats are helpful.  
This table has nice clean, minimalist lines and would work well with many types of chairs, depending on the look you are going for.  It could also be used as a writing desk.
