I purchased this set to use as indoor dining set and it's exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a farmhouse style table that was easy to put together with enough room to seat 4-6 people. I think for a large feast/picnic style meal, it could seat 4 people on the two benches and have 2 more with additional chairs on each side. I'm really happy with my purchase and I'd highly recommend it to others as well :)
