I like that this table is well designed. The design was most important because I wanted a dining table that will look good in my home and last for years. The construction on the table and chairs are great and the materials are high quality. My wife and I were able to assemble it with ease. The table surface is solid and very thick. It is great for eating dinner on and also doing our work. The table is ideal for two people like in my home but with one person, you can easily hold a computer and a few dishes on the table! The chairs are comfortable and the padding is good enough to sit on for hours. I highly recommend this table set to anyone.
