Such a simple, elegant and beautiful dark wood table! I waited 6 months in search for just the right table size, style and color to match my the Maple Expresso cabinets in my transitional styled kitchen/dining area. The table easily sits 6 and expanded to fit the space. The sleeves are built into the table and folded out... which was awesome!! The maintenance is easy. No peeling or varnishes.  I get tons of compliments. I also bought the bench, which is very comfortable and a nice addition.
