UPDATE:
In the year or so since I wrote this review, the legs on the chairs have come loose repeatedly. We do the usual activities at our table (homework, family games, eat) and its disappointing that the chairs are not holding up as well as I thought they would when I put them together. Im now in search of new chairs because one leg has been tightened so much, it has cracked. The table itself is still in good condition and has held up well.
Weve had this table for a while now, so its a good time to review. I put this together by myself in just under two hours. Thats with kids around to help. Parts went together well, instructions were easy to understand and nothing was missing. Its held up well to now 4 and 6 year old boys. This is a good table for a small family or if you live in a small place. We keep our table against the wall with the bench underneath and pull it out when we have guests. This allows us to actually entertain without having extra chairs sitting everywhere.
Now the next part is NOT the fault of the table, chairs or the company. The unfortunate truth is that if you are someone, like me, who happens to have the wonderful ability to grow blood clots in your legs for no reason, then these chairs will never be comfortable for you. They are padded yes, but that padding is not enough to keep me comfortable and I cant handle sitting at this table for more than 20 minutes at a time.
Good table for the money
