Ok, so when you buy an entire dining room set for this price, you would expect some problems, or lack of sturdiness. Well, this set, especially the table is really sturdy and was worth every penny. The table has a metal frame which is so easy to assemble and it has a glass top which I believe, looks really good. I bought this to use as a dining table for two and a study table for myself and so far, it works just fine. The only issue I had was assembling chairs. Even though assembling the frame is easy and pretty straightforward, adding the seating requires you to have a screwdriver. I had couple but none of them fit so I had to go out and buy an other one so that the seat part would stay in place and not slide out every time you sit. If you have kids, you may consider securing the glass part extra because it may slide if it is pushed too hard.
