In addition to this table, our Costco also has a counter height version of the table for $1099. Chairs look identical (but taller). Table top has the same pattern, but instead of a single 18" leaf it has a pair of 12 " leafs that get inserted near each end (so you can choose to insert 0, 1, or 2 leafs). Also unlike this table, where the leaf appears to get stored withing the table, the counter height table has fully removable leafs (so you'll need somewhere else to store them).
The table is big without the leafs, and HUGE with them both. But it looks beautiful and we love it. Nice thing about the counter height one is that in our house, the height allows us to see out the back window and see what the kids are doing in the backyard.
An employee helped us load it into the pickup truck, but my wife and I got it from there into the house. We managed, but it was extremely difficult. It was a careful act of sliding and tipping. Slide it out of the bed, tip it down to the ground, and slide the other end out. Tip it up on edge, slide it across the floor. The hard part was getting it up the 1 step from the garage into the house.
My only complaint about the table...it's big enough when expanded to seat 10, but 2 extra matching chairs are not available. I even contacted the manufacturer and they are unable to help.
