Christopher Knight Dining Table

The table was well packaged and took me about 30-40 minutes to assemble. They include basic tools for assembly but they are clumsy and you will probably want to use your own tools. It appears to be well built and is good looking. My issue is that it does not sit six people comfortably. I already owned six chairs similar in style and material. The width of the chair arms is 25.5 inches. There is no way to seat two chairs at this table side-by side without sitting far from the table. The reason is the racetrack style brace connecting the four legs. (You can see it on the product picture.) At ground level, the legs are 54" apart. Where the legs attach to the table surface, they are 48" apart. Where the legs meet the center brace, they are 36" apart. This significantly reduces the seating area. Trying to seat two 25.5 inch width chairs into a space where your knees only have 36 inches to work with is not a good situation. If you want this table to seat four people and have plenty of space on top for food dishes, this is a good choice. But if you want to seat six comfortably, look elsewhere. I wish I had.
