How many people does it seat?

Four with the leaf stored, and up to six once the extension is in place. Chair spacing gets tight at six.

Is the leaf easy to use?

It is a butterfly leaf that folds into the table. Expect to lift the top halves and align the leaf the first few times.

One round extendable table and four chairs. Assembly hardware and instructions come with it; tools may not.

Wipe with a damp cloth and avoid standing water. Use coasters and trivets, and re-oil or polish the top occasionally.

The round shape helps in tight rooms. Measure the closed diameter plus chair pull-out space before buying.

It looks warmer and more traditional and feels sturdier, but it is heavier and less forgiving of scratches than glass.
