Love the look of this set and price was great as I wanted something inexpensive but stylish. I guess you get what you pay for though! I have used the table maybe 4 times for dinners and I sit at it occasionally to study, but it does not get heavily used. I was sitting in a chair today and shifted my weight and heard and felt a crack! One of the slats broke!! I’m not “light” but I’m about 180lbs, hardly overweight and should certainly be able to sit in a chair without it breaking! Learn from my mistake, spend the extra money to get something higher quality.
