I purchased this table to replace our big and heavy dining room table which we have used in our kitchen. We are a family of 6 and this fits us just perfect. It does not seem to be overly sturdy which leaves me wondering if I had made the right choice as Im not sure its made to last. It does look nice in our kitchen, so right now, no complains. I just ripped the skid stickers that came with it from underneath the benches and the table as they stained my floor horribly in black  and Im still having trouble getting the stains out. I would highly recommend replacing them with felt ones  right away to prevent damage to your kitchen floor. I am happy with the purchase for now, as long as I dont have to replace it in the next few years. Fingers crossed it lasts!
