This dining table is simply the best. Assembly was easy, I suggest to have atleast another person on standby to help when it times to stand the table. Because this table is not light at all. I was able to stand it myself but with difficulties and was scared it might damages because that would be the last thing you want is to damage this beautiful dining table. I only wish that the matching chairs and the bench was included with this table. Because those items are expensive but im not surprised because this table is top tier. This table can hold weight. I stood on it to test and its very sturdy and no table shaking.
