I purchased this to go with our new dining table and I got the extra long bench. It will easily sit 3 adults or 4 children (my daughter was assigning spots on it for herself and her sister, and their friends). The finish is also beautiful. This furniture is quite sturdy and I have a feeling it will last for generations! The assembly of the middle set of legs was a little tricky since you have to use an allen wrench and there is wood in the way, so you have to re-position the wrench after each turn. It isn't that bad and is certainly manageable. Pros: Good size, beautiful finish, sturdyCons: Assembly can be a bit tricky, but not unreasonable.
