The dining bench is beautiful, rustic, very sturdy and can comfortably sit 4 adults. One of the corners was a little damaged on arrival, but I didn't want to bother getting it replaced. The wood is rather soft, so it can dent or chip easily if you are not careful. I would still buy it again and I would recommend it. My table pictured is the Kinston extending dining table with the Gertrude solid wood dining chairs.
