This set was a bit of a nuisance to put together. Only took one person for the work but it took thw brainpower of two to figure out the wonky directions. But! It was worth it. Its well made, sturdy fibers that have not frayed or showed any sign of wear so far. Its been a few months. Table is large enough to eat on but you would struggle to serve from too it of 4 ppl were seated. No regrets. Its a cute set.
