We LOVE this table!! It was really straight forward to put together, and only took about half hour to assemble. It's the absolute perfect table for our backyard, as it fits on our smaller patio. I love that it's a picnic table but yet is rustic and industrial. It's beautifully made, and the wood is amazing! The benches are nice and wide so I don't worry when my toddler sits and eats. What I'm most excited about is leaving it uncovered and out all year round and letting the wood "age," although if you want to keep the look of the new wood, you'll need to cover it when it rains. I absolutely recommend this table!!
