UPDATE: 3 YEARS LATER: Still love the table, though the corners are a little worn (see pic), and I can see it is particle board underneath. So I'm a little disappointed that the sellers say it's "solid wood." But I would still buy this table again! The table has been beautiful, flexible in sizes, and very sturdy. Meets all our needs.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: The product pics don't do justice to this beautiful table. In real life, it looks like solid stained wood to me (though I'm not sure what it really is), and I am picky about wood products. We expected three sizes, but there are actually four:
1) the small desk size (see my pic),
2) the fairly square size,
3) a larger size adding one leaf inserted, which is our favorite size and not indicated on the product page (see pic)
4) and the largest size with both leaves inserted.
At the largest size, the table easily seats 6 or more, but it’s a little large for our house. We shopped exhaustively for a nice convertible dining room able in our price range and were not having much luck at IKEA, Target, Walmart, or used furniture stores, until we saw this one on Amazon—in a league of its own. The color is a rich, warm walnut; then, if you shine a warm light on it, the color can even seem to have some red hues (I took one pic with the light on and one with it off, to demonstrate). It’s a versatile color that can easily coordinate with cherry, walnut and darker colors, and I opted to pair it with white contemporary chairs with light wood, just to brighten the feel of my house. My husband and I were both surprised by the thickness and beauty of the table when we opened the box. We were also surprised by how quickly this went together. You just bolt the legs on; everything else is already assembled. We could not be more thrilled with this beautiful table, especially for the price. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

Quality Control Issues Mar an Otherwise Great Table
My wife and I were looking for a board gaming table to replace an old resin folding table that we have been using for years. We generally have a varied amount of players -- anywhere from the two of us all the way up to 10. With this in mind, we wanted a table that was a little wider and would more comfortably accommodate more players as needed.After lots of research and reading reviews, I settled on this product. I really liked (and still like) the concept of a convertible table that switches from console, rectangular table, slightly larger dining table, to all the way to a giant dining table.When the product arrived, the box was in decent condition -- only a few dents here or there. My wife and I were impressed by the weight of the product and it didn't feel cheap at all. Assembly was a cinch, as we had to do was attach the four legs. Once we had done that, we removed the two included leafs and that was all.Then we noticed the issues. The first problem was that this table was almost impossible to convert. The mechanism is wood sliding on wood, and we were encountering all kinds of resistance. After a good deal of struggling, we managed to open the table, but now it had opened unevenly and was even harder to move. After struggling to close the table again, we managed to open it more evenly, which helped, but did not completely fix the issue.Then we noticed the cosmetic damage. When in console mode, the table is actually two layers deep, connected by a several hinges. When we opened the table, it was revealed that the hinges had damaged the tabletop (this is a result of poor design) in all but one of the places in which there was a hinge. You can see this in my photos. Some of the damage is complete superficial, but one of them left a pretty good hole in the tabletop and exposed the fleshy internals of the table. There is also a pretty good scratch on the table.As we continued to open the table and explore the various configurations (and continued to struggle to open and close the table evenly), we realized that at the largest configuration, the table bows inward even though there is an hidden fifth leg. The leg does absolutely nothing, and I would be afraid to leave the table like this for too long or to have anyone lean against it while playing a game. We ended up settling on the second-to-largest size.I briefly considered returning the table as a result of the issues we were encountering and the cosmetic damage, but it seemed like too much of a pain to be worth it. The table still looks nice, but I know I was always be bothered by the nicks where the hinges are. For gaming, we decided to cover the table to with a neoprene gaming mat.Overall, this table serves its purpose as our gaming surface. I can overlook the cosmetic damage and design flaws because it is not as expensive as comparably large tables and we use it primarily for gaming (it is not our main dining table). However, I would be cautious about using this as your main dining surface due to the many issues we have encountered.I have some reservations about recommending this product, but if you are looking for a relatively inexpensive secondary surface or are really in a crunch for space, this might be the table for you.
