Very sturdy, well made. Easy to put together with one other person and very cool looking. It fits in perfectly with my dark (almost black) cupboards and grayish wood floors. It is much darker than the photo but I knew that when I ordered it and was happy that it was true. If you're looking for a grayish color, this isn't it. I'm still hunting for dining chairs for it though. I didn't like the ones pictured as I was looking for something more rustic and can't quite figure out what to get.
