I am a HUGE fan of this set! I love pieces that are practical/multi-purpose and good-looking. That's a tall order for a dining table or pool table, but this set fills the bill!
It's incredibly heavy and well-made. I can't believe how sturdy the benches are and how easy it was to put together. Thoughtfully designed and packaged, I was able to construct it with my handyman in about an hour.  The hardest part was actually just flipping it over once it was built... because it's so heavy and well-made. Definitely recommend using a drill--a couple of construction steps are nearly impossible without, otherwise, it's a nice-to-have in place of the Allen wrench process.  
I'm so excited to start entertaining on my party table! This was the perfect addition to my home and the only furniture that makes sense in this transitional space. All of the accessories fit in one bench, which leaves the other available for storing placemats, napkins, tablecloths and candles!
