Get this with the expectation that it will fall apart eventually
Written in 2022
So Ive had this set since December 2019 and its been worth what I paid. In the first year, while it was under warranty, I was able to get 1 back piece of 1 of the chairs replaced. Like some other reviews, this set needs the bolts retightened after a couple of weeks/months depending on your daily wear and tear. Since having this set only 1 chair is in original condition the others have had the top part of the back come unglued, cracks on the bottom on the seat. The bench and table have withstood daily wear and tear better though. Plan to replace your chairs in 2/3 years depending on your use. It was good for the price at the time.

This set looks nice and its easy to wipe down which is great cause I have 2 toddlers and they make a lot of messes. Its sturdy and the chairs hold our weight just fine. My husband and I, a combined weight of at least 350 pounds, have been able to sit on one chair without breaking it. It took my sister and I about 2-3 hours to build it without breaks in between. The instructions are easy to understand and each piece comes with its own key to tighten the screws which is how we pieced it together so quickly. The first thing I noticed right away is that the bench is not even. It wobbles. This isnt too much of an inconvenience since we only use the bench when we have guests and most of the time its stored under the table. Also, about 2 weeks in I noticed that the top wooden part of one of the chairs has started to come loose. I hope that this is the only thing that comes loose and nothing else. I will update after having the set for 6-12 months. I dont plan on having this set for years to come but the price is good making it a good starter set for a family of four with toddlers that are going to destroy the furniture anyways.
