I was at first a little surprised at the color. It is quite different than the photo and more of a warm honey color instead of the light gray/white-washed color depicted in the picture. However, it has grown on me! It was easy to assemble, is sturdy, and has that wooden texture vs. the overly varnished look and feel of some tables. I received it just in time for Easter brunch and once I decorated it, I loved it! I would say it comfortably seats 4 people (not 6). All in all, I am happy with my purchase and experience with J&M! *I've included some pictures to show the color and texture of the table.
