I was pleasantly surprised as to how sturdy the table and seats were. I will say though, assembly was a bit of a task. Two people working together would do nicely for the table. It fits in perfectly behind my sofa. I have achieved splitting my over sized living area into two areas. The fabric on the seating is truly more grey but it matches my overall decor, but most especially the sofa. I only wish there was a hole in the table top in a corner to hide the electrial cords. Overall, it was well wirth the price!
