This table is very heavy.  I was worried it might be a light and flimsy table, but quite the opposite.  The table is quite heavy, and leaning on it won't tip glasses on the table which was a concern for me as I like to put elbows on the table.  The chairs are also quite heavy, and what I was hoping for.  I'm very happy about this purchase.  The kids like the bench as it's easy for them to get on and off, and the chairs have good back support I was looking for.  This was just right for me.  The photo is exactly what I received.
