I am very pleased overall with the Kona dining set. It is everything I wanted and more than I expected. I am 70plus and put the chairs together myself after reading the instructions twice my two sons put the benches and table together for which I'm grateful as the set is very heavy. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover the table incorporates the 18inch extension within the table itself making the job of finding a place to store it unnecessary. Four and a half stars overall. Thank you. Highly recommended.
