No surprises here- I knew it wouldn’t be as solid as my old one but didn’t need it to be. I checked the dimensions carefully so I knew what I was getting. The open ends of the benches make it much easier for (an older) person to get in and out but someone a bit broad in the beam might find the seat uncomfortably small. I paid the extra to have it assembled for me.

Cute picnic table and do enjoy. Fits space well. However, description says seats 6 and it is a tight seating of 6, glad I did not go with the smaller version. I should have done more with the measurements. I would say sits 3 more comfortably. Easy to assemble. Lightweight pro- easy to move, con-not sure how the lightweight wood will handle years of weathering. Not very sturdy.

Easy to put together and solid construction. I love the stain on it and it stands up to the Washington rain very well!!

This table came packaged nice and carefully. It is beautifully stained and good quality.
