For the most part this is a very study table and easy to assemble. I gave it four stars because the table was damaged upon delivery. Customer service at Wayfair gave us several options to remedy the situation and were great to work with, but in the end we settled for a 20% discount which was enough to repair the table. FYI: The stain on the top of the table is a bit orange compared to the photos but it still went with the chairs we purchased from another store.
