I actually love my Colborne Dining Set for its looks and quality! However, I do have to give it 4.5 stars for its functionality. You really cannot use this as a daily dining table unless you(and kids) are a super clean eater or you have a protective glass layer(but defeats purpose of look). Positives- heavy duty wood table with firm cushioned seats. Negatives- grooves deep in table where dirtdustcrumbs get trapped, chairs at ends cannot scoot closer to table due to bar blocking, had trouble assembling of the “X” bar at bottom of table and had to undo screws and redo. Also, 1 chair leg was uneven and we had to swap legs around with other chairs to find an even balance.
