This dining set is awesome! I have 2 elementary age kids who love everything crafts and art and since I purchased this in August, it has definitely stood up to our daily use. We do everything at this table- eat, color, play games, do homework... literally everything. I was afraid it would appear cheap but it really is a great color. It brightens up our dining room more than our old dark- wood table did. The boxes were sooooo heavy but once I got them inside I was able to put this together myself in a few hours. The trickiest part was getting the table's top secured. I did need my husband's help for that. The price was by far cheaper than ANY other set I looked at and shipping was really fast. All in all, I'm so happy with this purchase.
