I do not have much room in my dining area but my table expands to fit 10 -12 people. I bought this bench , which is beautiful, matches my chairs and serves a triple purpose. It doesn’t fit under my table when the table is close so I’m using it as a ottoman in front of my coach, a coffee table  when the holidays come , I extend my dining table and the bench can accommodate 3 adults (nicely) or 4 children...this is my Best Buy yet!  Thank You WAYFAIR!
