The table looks lovely an functions well in our kitchen. The table is light weight and a bit wobbly. I am uncertain how well it will hold up over time. The benches feel study and stable. Assembly was a bit of a pain - you definitely need two people - and a slight crack developed in the back of one of the bench seats as it was screwed together. It functions fine now, but again, I am uncertain how it will hold up in the long run. In summary, I am very happy with the purchase considering the price. Pros: functionality and appearance. Cons: a bit wobbly, questionable long-term durability.
