This is a very versatile set. The table is solid with a nice rustic wood look that is finished well. It was more narrow (width) than I expected it to be. It's more of a counter size versus a conversational size of benches being on either side of the pub table with room to work. Bench stools are nicely padded and comfortable. We've used the table in our church for various uses already (cafe bar, communion table, and workspace).
