This is a beautiful and versatile table. We needed a table for our dining room that would allow us to use the space for other things, if needed. This table fit the bill because it has two leaves and can fit up to 8 people or the leaves can both go down for more space in the room. I was concerned that the table would be rickety because of the gate legs and leaves, but it's completely solid and well made. It's definitely rustic, so if you want something new and shiny looking, this table is not for you. It has a rough-ish look to the wood (not at all shiny) and looks more like a rustic antique than a new table, which is exactly what I was looking for. The table looks completely at home with our Swedish Gustavian/French Country antiques. We have it against the wall with one leaf open for day to day use and we pull it out from the wall and use the second leaf if we have 6 - 8 people for dinner. We can also put both leaves down and have movie night in our dining room or something else fun with the space. The delivery was not fast -- it took about 3 weeks to get across the country, but it arrived well packaged and there is no assembly because it's a nice piece of furniture. Heavy, but not too heavy. Easy to deal with the leaves and gate legs. All in all, worth the wait! The staff at Kathy Kuo is EXCELLENT. Good communication, great service. You will not be sorry with this table or as a Kathy Kuo Home customer.
