Directions are horrible, workmanship is horrible, benches don't sit level on the ground.  MOST IMPORTANTLY, this should be called a KIDS TABLE. My husband and son are both 6 ft 4 and only one of them can sit on a "bench".  The table is too small for anything. I'll try to use if for something on the patio, but not what I bought it for.   VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT.
