I'm very happy with this piece.  We've used it every day since we got it a week ago.  It looks just like the photo.  The chairs are comfortable to sit on with or without the cushion.  I've had breakfast at it in the morning, and in the evening, my husband and I were able to side across from eachother with our laptops.  It was a bit tight, but there's room!

My only complaint is that the assembly instructs were not very clear.  However, with a bit of reasoning, we were able to figure out how everything went together.
