This set is huge! Check the dimensions of the set and compare to the size of area you want to put it! It’s a little bigger than I envisioned, I think because the model photos is a bigger show room. So it looks huge in my kitchen dining area. Lol. Fortunately it is absolutely gorgeous so the size wasn’t enough for me to dislike it or send it back. It wasn’t difficult to put together but it does take some time and patience. Some reviewers don’t like the natural “holes” in it, but I think it adds to the rustic look and gives it character. I bought an antique copper drink tray to decorate on top of it with some farm house theme flowers and candles, which haven’t arrived yet. Makes the kitchen dining area look cozy and inviting. It is also big enough to work in a formal dining room if you’re going for the rusticcabin look. For the price it is an amazing set.
