We have had the table and bench together for about a month. It is sturdy. It did take a minute to put together as the directions were not the best. Once together we were impressed by the quality. I'm looking forward to having this set for a while.
1. Would be good to have each screw type/part in separate bags.
2. Biggest issue was short length on screws requiring lock washer and washer. Was impossible to get the screw engaged onto the table with both washers. I had to remove the washer and just use the lock washer and screw.
We loved the color and style of this table. It is definitely made of real wood, which is great too. The only difficult part was screwing the pieces together. The screws weren’t long enough to use with the washers provided. The screw wouldn’t catch on the predrilled pieces. After a long and frustrating assembly, we found that just using the screws without the washers was the only way to get them to catch after multiple attempts.
The owners were very nice when I contacted them. But there were so many misalignment it was a real problem. Had ro use chopsaw 6 times to correct alignment problems and twice so far I tapped and put in screws. Also problems with clarity of instructions.
This table was the perfect size for our needs. We replaced a larger table as we downsized our space and the number of people in the house. But it still has plenty of room and paired with chairs and a bench we had 8 or 9 around it without issue.
Assembly was straightforward and it seems very solid and stable.
