When these arrived (all 8 of them) I got concerned that they were going to be chintzy because of how light the supposed 20lb boxes were. But happily, when I opened them and assembled one I loved them and do not feel they are cheaply made. They seem like they will hold up to the every day use in my kitchen that they were purchased for... now I just have to stain them all.. but I need to match a table I already own so the unfinished feature is exactly what I wanted/needed.
