WOW!!! This table is a monster.  It is slim and sleek.  My husband and I are renting an huge house in an historic district.  The dining room is gigantic.  I didn't want anything too ornate or elegant and this fit the bill.   I love this table.  When fully extended it takes up the whole dining room.  I am looking forward to entertaining and large family gatherings with this gorgeous table.  NOTE:  It is easy to assemble but it is heavy and might take two people.
