Very cute as a display piece. Not big enough for 4 people at table plus serving dishes. Set up was pretty easy and took about as much time as I expected - a few hours. We are constantly having to tighten the screws. The wood split on one of the chairs after my 12 year old son sat on it. The pegs broke on another chair. I don't know if these can be replaced. I hold my breath every time a guest sits on one of the chairs. We have only had the table for a year. The family hates it, but it is really nice looking. Great for a small dining space and not something that is going to be used every day. This will fit someone's needs, but not very functional for a family of 4.
