I am using this table in our family game room. I was hesitant because the base of the table appeared more contemporary than other furniture in the room. When you get chairs around the table the base is not even noticeable. So ignore the base but look at the detail of this table top. I leave the flat top on when we aren't using the games on the table. It's a beautiful piece to have dinner and entertain on. The gaming or poker side has just what I wanted on it. Seats six people in rolling chairs very comfortably. Handsome, functional, and very reasonable for the look. I would buy this again.
