Very lightweight, but durable and sturdy. It’s perfect for our small space however, from someone who has always had rather large furniture (previous set was a bar height table), this piece is quite small. We are bigger people, so it’ll be nice for a small breakfast nook but it will not be capable of entertaining others. We knew the dimensions before ordering and are still good with the size, but it is rather shocking once you get it setup…it would be perfect for an older kids space. We are happy with it as we knew exactly what we were purchasing before hand and it was intentional to purchase something small that could be butted up against our wall, because of kitchen isn’t setup to have a full setup however, it’s still a shock each time I walk into my kitchen. I gave 45 stars just because I’m am concerned that overtime, the build of it will give out…
