I have a small breakfast corner and, I was looking for a 2-person compact and practical dining set for that space. I am glad what I found is exactly what I had in mind. it is very sturdy and comfortable. I love the second shelf under the actual table. it is very handy and i can easily keep extra plates. the chairs are small but extremely comfortable.it suits my overall breakfast area decor. As for cleaning, I found it very easy and with one wipe it cleans the table top. I'm so glad i found this 2 person dining set.
