I'm downsizing and thought this would be the perfect table. I am happy with the purchase but not sure it will work out as planned. It is a very long, skinny table. I haven't had any guests yet but I wondering if the seats in the middle will have enough table space, whereas the seats on the end will have plenty of length but might be a little too skinny. The leg space under the middle seat seems a bit cramp too. The table and base is definitely bronze, not unattractive but I was hoping for a more gold tone. Oh well, nothing a can of spray paint can't fixed. The tabletop (some kind of MDF not solid wood) has a beautiful finish but I'm worried if it will scratch easily. As I said, I'm downsizing so I don't plan on doing a lot of entertaining, just small family dinners. I know this review sounds negative but I really do like the table. Hope this helps.
