Table is very sturdy.  Took awhile putting it together as some of the pegs were too big and had to be sanded down. The 4 pieces of the table top only fit one way, so be sure the pegs are in the correct holes before pushing them in. Difficult to get out. The edge lines between pieces (the top of the table) are not all level. Two are a tad raised. Holes just not drilled precisely. Fits 5 chairs easily. 6 could squeeze in.
