We took a flyer on ordering this solely based on reviews.    We've had it for ~3 wks now and love it.  I assembled most it by myself.  Needed some help w/ the table install.  The table assembly was pretty easy but need another set of hands.  The chair assembly was decent too.   Both table and chairs are very stable and sturdy.  

Great value.  

Pros: Stable, solid wood.  Table is heavy.
