Purchased for our family of 6 because said it seats 6. Which it does. However it does not fit 6 plates. Nearly impossible for 6 people to eat at this table. It’s also quite short. The table will absorb anything and everything. You’d definitely need to add a top coat. I just wasn’t impressed at all. The only pro is that it’s fairly easy to put together. My 10 year old helped with that.
