Im not normally a fan of veneered furniture as it tends to look too fake for my liking, however the quality of this product is very high. The untrained eye would struggle to recognise that this is not a solid wood table top. Also £100 for a table and 4 chairs is awesome value. I bought this as a messytable for the kids homework and crafting etc and it will easily do the job. Its quite sturdy and the build quality is good although I imagine the bolts will need tightening after a few months use. This could be said for most flat pack furniture in high traffic areas though. Overall, Im very impressed with the product.
