With both leaves in (which is how we use it), it's about 11 feet long. I love the look of it, although the top scratches very easily. I don't think they make this particular table any longer, but they have other tables of similar size, I believe. The captain's chairs are also from Pottery Barn, and they're very sturdy. The side chairs are from Bassett Furniture, and they've held up beautifully over the years. I've just re-upholstered the seats to suit my tastes from time to time.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-45776790728024363842015-06-17T20:46:17.264-04:002015-06-17T20:46:17.264-04:00Beautiful, beautiful makeover....I love the bevera...Beautiful, beautiful makeover....I love the beverage fridge added to the island and all of the ways you chose to lighten up the kitchen from the paint to the chair covers...yes, it take me forever to complete a project as "life" sort of takes priority especially when you have a very active family and lifestyle....Great job Richella!Shirley@Housepitality Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945881622303698087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-43001980403931007482015-06-17T20:08:08.476-04:002015-06-17T20:08:08.476-04:00Love your kitchen, it is beautiful.

Really like your island painted and nice to have that lil fridge for<br />beverages right there too. You did a great job on your chair covers and the painting on your bar stools.<br />It really does look wonderful.............and yes, many times our projects take us quite awhile. I have been<br />wanting to redo my computer room for quite a while now, and even have many of the things to do it with,<br />but just hasn't been a priority............but maybe this year, and we did a bathroom reno several years<br />ago that took us about 8 mos or more, if I remember correctly. I always say Life is what happens when<br />we are making our plans..............lol Might as well go with it, rather than be frustrated and crazy!! lol<br /><br />Take care hon, <br />Blessings, NellieNellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-26868885714107214712015-06-17T17:35:17.549-04:002015-06-17T17:35:17.549-04:00I just love your lighter and brighter farmhouse ki...I just love your lighter and brighter farmhouse kitchen - so pretty!
