Exactly what I was expecting, hubby didn’t even use the instructions because it was way more difficult with them. Too him about an hour. So far had spaghetti and nothing stains! I love it so much in our breakfast nook since we don’t have space for a regular dinning table set! We are deff going to bring it when we get a house for outside or breakfast nook!!! So worth it, i got it on sale for $200 1 table 4 chairs with light legs.
