How many people does it seat?

Four with the chairs included. The extended 58-inch top gives each person more elbow room but does not add seating.

How does the extension work?

The oval top pulls apart and takes an added leaf to reach 58 inches. Check that the leaf stores inside the table so you do not lose it.

Aukfa does not market this set as solid wood. Expect engineered wood and veneer at this level, which is normal for extendable sets but less durable than hardwood.

Will it fit a small dining room?

At 42 inches unextended it suits tight spaces, and the oval shape leaves more walkway than a rectangle. Measure your room with the chairs pulled out before buying.

Does it come with assembly hardware?

Yes, the set ships flat with the hardware and instructions for the table and four chairs. Two people make assembly faster.

How does it compare with a fixed 4-seat table?

You get the same daily footprint plus room for two extra guests when extended. The trade-off is a leaf mechanism and a lighter build than a fixed solid table.
