Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I bought this at [...]a week ago and started to assemble today. Only one problem though, the holes that the screws go into are too small. I think the metal dye used to cut the holes was one size too small. The holes for the seats are fine, but the table itself is too small and I am unable to put it together now. I think rather than take it back i will try smaller screws. Either way it is a pain.
