It seems like it will hold WELL & durable. Does seat 2 people like it says. Love the white distressed look. The brown wood part of it seems very nice. Not that fake delicate wood. The rich color brown works for me as that is what i was hoping and looking for. A bit heavy. Not much. But too me that's a good thing. It speaks volumes of the material. Not whimpsy. Make sure you check for the instructions. Either the paper they send or here on the site. It was easy to assemble once we figured out the instructions. Doesn't take a rocket scientist. We just wanted to make sure it was being assembled right. Hope this is helpful to you all.
