Was looking for a medium sized table for entertaining on the patio, price of this item seemed a bit more reasonable compared to many other picnic table/bench sets offered. Shipped well and on time. Assembly instructions were a bit sparse, but manageable (and had to go buy a 7/16" wrench to complete), the pieces fit together OK. We noticed a few flaws in the legs of the bench and table such as splits/cracks but they didn't seem to be critical faults and we used some wood glue for extra insurance. Since we purchased the unfinished wood version, we put on a few coats of stain for color and weather proofing. Looks nice, pretty solid feeling, haven't used it much yet since finishing the stain.
