Please read all of this review. Was easy to put together, but did have to get a little help with final tight on bolts. ( I have arthritis in my hands) Nice heavy set, probably won't wear out for the age of my grandchildren. The finish is so smooth, that it appears to be a bit slick in the seat of the chairs. My twins 2 1/2 yrs. have a little trouble. I have moved it from playroom to my living to be able to supervise use. The finish looks great on the table, but it will scratch, unlike a poly product as the one at Costo.com. But if this doesn't matter, this is a good table for the price..looks like furniture. Other than the scratch problem, I would rate higher.
