I purchased this bench along with the 95" Kinston table and I love them both!  This bench is solid wood and I love the rustic/farmhouse look.  I'm sure my three little ones will beat it up over the coming years but I think that will just add more character to the bench.  It's solid and heavy.  Also, if you purchase the smaller sized Kinston table, this bench might be too long for it.  It's perfect for the 95" Kinston table.
