Bought this to use at dining room table when we have larger family gatherings.  I was able to seat more people without cramming a bunch of odd chairs around the table.  It was perfect for the job.  We had 3 ladies on it comfortably!  I will also use it for extra seating in my family room when we have parties.  It arrives in a long box, well packaged with easy instructions to follow for assembling the legs.  It took 30 minutes, including unpacking and reading instructions.
