I was really pleasantly surprised by how well-made this table and benches set was! It's very sturdy, and is standing up well to our crazy family (it did wonderful work at our Thanksgiving). You should know that the benches are just a bit longer than the space between the table legs, so tucking them under is a little complicated (you have to slide in one side, then the other), but I would otherwise highly recommend this is you're looking for great quality at a reasonable price.
