It's perfectly suited to my needs (space, decor, etc).  It was easy to put together and reasonably priced compared to many other dining room sets.  The chairs and bench look very well put together.  The table legs appear to be solid wood.  The table appears to have some type of laminate cover but the grainy texture resembles wood closely enough.  When I originally ordered this set I had wished it had a table extension.  However, upon receiving it and placing it in my dining room, I feel that it's the perfect size.  I highly recommend this dining room set.
