Pros: Solid heavy wood, very steady. I consider this purchase a life time investment, well made and quality wood. Expands very easily, i bought the full 6 piece set. The assemble process is very easy, great packaging job. Great customer service

Cons: The surface of the table has deep grooves it can get very messy if you have kids. The clean up can be  wearisome. The chairs are larger than average, it's hard or inconvenient to find chair cushions. 

Personal opinion: regardless of the cons am gonna give this set a 5 star review. Like a mention before I consider this purchase a lifetime investment. I always buy glass for my dinning tables and this is not the exception, therefore the crumbs in the deep grooves problem is eliminated. I do buy chair cushions for chairs in this case for the bench as well, and i admit i had problems finding the correct size., But i found just what i need it here on Wayfair. That solved that issue. Am really in love with this set and its quality.
