The dining room set has worked out well for us. It easily expands and since the extra part is hidden within it, you don’t have to worry about storing it someplace when keeping the length short.

Overall, we have liked it.

Now, the one issue I have had is that the chairs scratch VERY easily. If the eight chairs that we received, 5 of them have scratches on the seat from grommets in jeans and other items. Not as sturdy as I would hope. I have had to retighten the bolts on the chairs probably every 3-4 months. 

The table, again, is great. I wish the chairs could hold up to normal wear and tear much easier.

Picture included is one of the worst marks on the chairs as an example of what to be aware of.  (Perhaps nice chair cushions would have prevented any of the scratches we have had to deal with).
