My first review when this arrived was "Pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Good table and benches especially for the price - it's solid wood." Unfortunately, I am changing it to one star now and do not recommend this to anyone. After several weeks the table began to split in between each strip of wood (see photos). Wayfair/AllModern was very prompt to send a replacement. Thankfully they have good customer service. However, the second table they sent is already beginning to do the same thing! This is an extremely poor product. So far the benches are OK and have not split.
