I'm glad I got the 66" table because it comfortably fits 6 chairs.  The standard size placemats overlap a little on the ends, but it doesn't feel squished.  This is attractive and solid.  It was easy to put together.  I was surprised at how heavy it was!  There are two small dings on the surface, but they are almost impossible to notice because they are the same color as the wood.  It looks like maybe they tried to fix it with wood putty?  They are very small and I doubt anyone else will even see them.  The color is attractive.  It's a bit lighter than expected, but that's fine.
