Title: Surprisingly flimsy
Product review: The table and chairs are nice looking and they are, indeed, solid wood, but it must be some kind of very cheap wood that cracks easily. Two table legs split as as I put the screws in, and I'm not that big or strong -- I'm sure I wasn't applying an extreme amount of pressure. The company sent a replacement leg right away -- maybe this happens a lot. Later, a chair leg cracked when an adult (5'4" and about 130 pounds) sat on the chair. We sent for a replacement leg and got one that seems to have come from a different chair, because it didn't match the others and didn't fit snugly. Then a leg on the other chair snapped right off when a 40-pound kid stood on the chair. I"m very surprised. I would think that any solid wood that one would choose to make this type of furniture out of should be able to stand the weight of a 40-pound child.
