Review 2 for Mainstays Parsons Dining Table, Black

Good, not great.

This table is surprisingly well made; it's heavy and, put together right, sturdy. It's perfect for a first apartment or college dorm setting. I love that it comes with everything you need to put it together and it only took me fifteen minutes to put it together. My only problem? The finish doesn't seem to hold. I haven't used it much as I prefer to eat at my desk if and when I can, but already there is a blemish on the table top. Not noticeable until it's pointed out to you, but after that, you really can't help but focusing on it. I almost wished they made this with a matte finish instead of the glossy finish.
Overall, good product. I'm sure the construction will stand the test of time, but the finish? I'm not really hopeful.

Review 4 for Mainstays Parsons Dining Table, Black

Like it but pretty small..

The table is pretty sturdy and definitely serves its purpose but I do wish the table was a bit bigger. I think for two parents and two small kids, this is fine or even if you need a small table for a dorm/small apartment this could work out...but if you're wanting this for the purpose of having friends over for entertaining, you should probably go with something bigger. But overall, I do like it. We've been needing a good dining table for a while and so far this is doing its job.

It's a good size for two people and looks nice as long as the sunlight isn't on it. It collects dust very easily, even in a clean home. You can find better quality elsewhere for about the same price.

Sad because I ordered the bundle chairs and went out of stock. So now I have my lovely table without chairs. But I am very happy w the table. I have my small apartment and was looking for simple, modernand basic table

This is a beautiful table. Online Pick-up was great, they even helped me put it in my Jeep. I am not a handy woman. I have never assembled anything in my life. It was SOOO easy. The instructions made perfect sense and I am so happy with my purchase. I surprised my boyfriend and did it all by myself! Great table, very modern and sleek. Great for my budget and ahhmaaazzinngg for my apartment.

Review 9 for Mainstays Parsons Dining Table, Black

It's an OK table

Ok so I start putting the table to gether, no problem. Then I get to the final leg to put on and the screw does not want to go all the way in the hole. Uhhh ok. So now one part of my table has the screw kinda out, but you wont notice unless youre looking under the table. I got frustrated with that and decided to just leave it like that until I feel like dealing with it again. It did not take me that long to put it together all together. The top of the table stains easily and the surface is with this weird material so you have to clean it with a certain cleaner so it wont leave stains on there. But overall I like the color and to fix the top of the table issue I am just going to buy a table cloth....Which I really don't want to do tho :(

Nice, solid table

My only complaint is in the way it was packaged... the legs were STAPLED to the underside of the table with heavy duty staples that were impossible to remove. I ended up breaking most of them and have jagged points of metal sticking out of the bottom. But the look and quality of the table itself is nice and the assembly other than the staple fiasco was simple.

I ordered this item using the Site-to-Store option. The All the items shipped at the same time, but for whatever reason I got the chairs a week before I got the Table. When I got the table the sides of it were chipped. After I had built everything I then realized that one of the chairs had a bubble on the back and is starting to chip. Chances of me getting it replaced probably wont happen. It looks nice, but should have spent a bit more money on something else.

It's sturdy, I love how it looks, it was easy to assemble. We bought it as a 5 piece set, along with the chairs, and it looks great in our dining area. It is on the small side but it fits perfectly in our small apartment. Exactly what we were looking for!

I just got this table (and 2 chairs) today by Fed Ex (free shipping to home) and I LOVE THEM! Its all very solid furniture!!! I was worried that it would be cheap looking at that price but it actually looks high end! They look great in my kitchen under my window. I put the table and chairs together by myself in my kitchen floor - everything you'll need to put this table together is included in the box. GREAT TABLE AT AN AMAZING PRICE!!!!! So glad I ordered this table : )

Beautiful, sturdy dining set!!

We just moved into a new apartment and I was looking for an inexpensive dining room set. My previous set was too large for this apartment. I needed something that would be sturdy enough to hold up to my husband and sons ages 17 and 9, and would also look really nice in the new place. This set fits the bill!!! The assembly was very easy. My 17 year old son put the whole set together while my husband supervised and pitched in when he needed 2 hands on the chairs. If you are looking for an inexpensive dining room set with a high quality look and feel, please don't sleep on this one!!!
