I like the table and I like the benches but I’m definitely going to have to buy or make some sort of cushion to cover the benches because they are extremely hard. I guess that is good that they are hard because they are sturdy but my tush does not appreciate the hardness. So, if you are thinking about getting this table with benches set it is a really good size for a small eating area. I like the color of gray, too. I was surprised because I don’t really usually like gray furniture but my fiancé‘s entertainment center is gray and so I’m trying to match his entertainment center since he already owned it and I don’t wanna get rid of it because it’s in good condition it’s just not a color I would have chosen if I were there when he bought it but I wasn’t there when he bought it so, anyway, it almost matches the entertainment center which is good. The benches tuck under the table so they don’t stick out which is nice, too. Have a wonderful day and be prepared to cushion the tush!It’s very sturdy, unlike IKEA furniture that move around when you bump into it. Very easy to assemble, my 4 year old helped me screw everything in with an Allen Wrench, I have a small apartment and it’s bigger and sits higher than I expected (which is all really great! I was expecting less for the price) so amazing amazing that it’s more than what I thought it would be! I was discouraged at first because I thought the bars underneath the benches & table would be too much going on down there, but once you put it together and it’s on your floor they disappear. Overall 1million times better than I hoped for and paid for tooMy husband assembled it and said it was very easy to assemble and the look is exactly what I wanted but it’s not as tall as I would of liked. Other than the height it’s perfectOne of the easiest set of furniture I've had the pleasure of assembling. Simple and sturdy design and fits perfectly in a small space. Give the engineers of this set a raise.Did not come with enough longer screws for both benchesTook me one hour to assemble. Color went great with my floor and it’s not taking up half my kitchen. I just needed something cute and sturdy! I love it .I absolutely luv this...so easy to put together but extremely sturdy...n my favorite part is how easy it to clean...in a house full of kids a definite plus...would definitely recommendExactly what it looks like. I have an extremely small appointment and it fits perfectly. Seems really short but actually very comfortable to sit at. You literally can not go wrong with this table.
