Target Marketing Systems Traditional Style 3-Piece Nook Corner Dining Set with Hidden Storage Under The Seats, for Small Spaces, Includes 1 Table and Benches, Black

I love this table!!! It looks so sharp in my kitchen. People notice/comment on it as soon as they walk in my house. My friend that put it together (it would have been to complicated for me to do myself) said that the seats are interchangeable, even though I read on a comment that they were not. I also read that the bench was not sturdy for a lot of weight and I disagree. The only thing I wish was different is the compartments under the seat are VERY shallow! I was hoping to be able to store a thin blanket in there but I cannot. I would say they're only about 2 inches deep. But etiher way I would buy this table again!!

We acquired this product as a replacement for a solid wooden table that we had been using for many years. We were after something that would fit in our breakfast nook. We had measured the space well and so this came closest to fitting before purchasing. I had some concern on the way it was described as I suspected the quality of the materials were not well described. The assembly of this product was simple. It came in several boxes and had the usual volume of yucky stryofoam panels to mess up any space you could imagine. Be prepared to vacuum multiple times after constructing. Meanwhile, the materials them self are some sort of white laminate over pressed board or particle board/MDF. Of course that means that it extremely heavy and very fragile. I won't go over too many more details except to say after taking a bowl out of the microwave of Chili and place it on the table, the laminate bubbled and was ruined forever. Next my child dropped a plastic cup on the table top and the laminate chipped. Stay away from this completely poorly conceived and executed product.

I'm loving this thing! I have a teeny tiny house, about 1,200 sq ft with 6 people and a dog living in it.. yikes!So it came in 4 boxes and seemed a little overwhelming at first but as I opened each box I noticed each one was its own particular piece and each also came with its own set of hardware and instructions to keep the confusion minimal (still a good idea to take it all out and separate it to make sure nothing's damaged or missing before you start gluing it all together). The instructions were simple enough to follow and all the parts, including the bags of hardware were all amazingly labeled. I'm a 40 year old, 5' 2" woman with 4 kids (1 being special needs) and a husband who works 60-80 hrs a week and with my crazy schedule I was able to get this thing put together in an afternoon (probably 2 hours if I could do it in one sitting). Mine came in 4 days sooner than told and none of it was damaged, missing, or mismatched. I was also easily able to switch the seat side boards to swap where the short and long seats sit because the longer bench covered the entryway from my kitchen to the dining area. Pretty amazing actually. I love that both seats are storage seats though, I honestly only expected one of them to be. The $300 price wasn't too bad compared to other dining tables for the space I lack and it has lots of room for how small it is.. I wouldn't trust spills though, it specifically says it's MDF which is denser than plywood and MOISTURE resistant, but NOT water resistant OR water proof. Wish they had the espresso one though, that one looks magnificent.

I purchased this table in February and unfortunately, due to certain medical reasons, I wasn’t able to assemble it until March. When the boxes first arrived I inspected them for any exterior damage, as I do all things that I have shipped to my home, because I live in Alaska and things travel far and so sometimes things can get damaged in transit. All of the boxes were in good condition and there were no signs of damage or tampering. When we first started opening the boxes and putting everything together all was going well and then we got to the box for assembling the storage benches. We opened it up and there were several broken pieces inside but not all of the pieces were broken. There was no damage to the box or the foam that was in the box. So that means that it was damage from the manufacturer. The main piece that was completely broken beyond repair was the top piece that goes on the corner bench (circled in the picture of set) to connect the benches. There are other pieces that are damaged but those are hidden pieces and there were ways to “fix” them with screws or such and I was willing to work with those but not this. There is no way to fix this piece and this piece sits on top where everyone can see. Also, once I started looking at everything else closer, I realized that most of the pieces had some sort of ding or flaw. I also noticed that in some of the pieces, where they pre-attach parts to other parts, there were cracks. Probably stress fractures where they tightened it too much but even still, I didn’t ask for a damaged table. If everything came fine and nothing was damaged, I would love this set and give it 5 stars. I’ve had one like it previously and that’s why I purchased this one. I have 5 kiddos, so there is 6 of us, and we need the room. For the most part it was easy to assemble, HOWEVER, you can’t assemble broken pieces. Had the pieces not been broken then I would’ve given it 5 stars. Sturdiness...I don’t know...mine came broken. It seems like, if nothing was damaged and it could be put together properly, it would be pretty sturdy. But again...I’m not sure because mine was damaged. Value for money...ummm NO! I paid $375 (after adding shipping) for a broken and scratched up table. If I wanted a scratched and broken table, I would have bought one local, spent way less money and I wouldn’t have had to spend over 2 hours putting it together! I’m a single mom and $375 is a lot to me! I don’t have the money to just go buy another table because they sent me a broken one. So now I’m stuck with a broken table. Guess I learned my lesson for next time. I’ve attached pictures of the main broken piece and where it goes and also just one example of the flaws in the set. I have several more pictures but I’m sure you get the idea.
