This set is great! It's solid and is assembled very easily. I have no doubt this set will last a very long time. The chairs are sturdy and comfortable (plus, there was no assembly required for them) and the bench will be perfect for squeezing extra kids in. I was very, very pleased with how everything was packaged - this was my first Wayfair purchase so I don't know if its a manufacturer thing or a Wayfair thing but everything was wrapped and packaged very securely!
