Walker Edison 68" Drop Leaf Trestle Wood Dining Table in Dark Oak

I ordered this table in March, but it apparently never got picked up at the warehouse! I got hold of a VERY nice Amazon person who got a replacement ordered and I got it delivered about a week after. When it arrived, I was a little nervous because the packaging was SO destroyed, but the table was in perfect shape. Amazon still says it's out for delivery today, but I think that must be a mistake!I put it together in about three hours (or so...) and it's really nice. The legs could be a teensy bit firmer (maybe some MORE pegs? lol!) The directions aren't bad, although some of the drawing "close-ups" are a little too detailed. You really have to lay it all out and check which sides go up before glueing or screwing into place.I like the fake scratches and gouges ("distressing" I believe it's called) and we've already put in a few more! But it's a pretty piece of furniture and seems like a good investment.UPDATE: I got a second table delivered and the UPS driver was a young guy who sweetly listened, understood and with a "No problem! I'll mark it as refused order" hoisted it off my porch and back on the truck! The SECOND package had some regular wear and tear, but I cannot attest to the interior.

The table is very well made and really a quality item. Thank goodness for grandsons. It took them about 2hours to get it together. I would recommend this table to anyone. Just remember its a little bigger than you think. I love it

Before I start the review let me clarify that I am talking about '6-Piece Solid Wood Dining Set, Dark Oak' dinning table. The one with leafs at the end of the table that needs to be store else where when not in use. Why I make this clarification is, the way Amazon has set up this detail page, it has 3 different table models. They are completely different in design. Ideally they should have their own detail pages. By having all three tables listed as sort of just a variation in color has led to having the reviews all mixed up, Customer Q&As all mixed up. I have reported this to Amazon.For example, I asked the question where will the end leafs be stored when not in use. I got three different answers. All who answered were telling the right thing except that they were referring to one of the three different designs.Not that being clarified, let me get into the details of the product itself, which is, '6-Piece Solid Wood Dining Set, Dark Oak'I took the leap of faith to buy this expensive table from Amazon.The package arrived in three huge packages. In fact UPS messed up the delivery by initially delivering only two of the three packages (chairs and bench). They came around later in the afternoon to delivery the third package, the Table, biggest and heaviest of the three packages.Even though the exterior of the packages looked beaten up, the contents inside were well protected with Styrofoam. So no damages, not at least from the transportation.Table:It had 22 different wooden pieces, many of which had 2 to 4 units, some even over 6. I laid them all on the floor and took the count first to make sure all the pieces where available. The instructions were straight forward. Few things to note while putting this together.- The amount of glue they provide is NOT sufficient if you want a good tight fit- They say not to use power tools. They probably say this because if you are not careful you could damage the furniture. But without power tool to screw things in YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE FEW WEEKS to put this together.- There are no pre-holes drilled on to the pieces that another piece attaches to. Which means if you do not have a power drill you are either going to needs good muscles and a good set of screwdrivers.- The fit on the screws for corner wedges is not great. Have to be very careful doing this because it impacts the overall sturdiness of the tableWhile putting this table together, there were may points where the fits where not really tight and I was doubtful about the overall quality and strength of the table. Especially when you are attaching the bottom crossbar with the four main legs. But once you attach it to the table top everything feels a lot more sturdy.One of the leafs did not have marking on where some of the pieces screw on to. But it was a small thing and very easy to figure out.ATTENTION: The number of screws and other hardware are exact count of what is required. So don't misplace or lose anyI shall update this review after I put together the Chairs and the benchUpdate:Setting up the bench and chairs were soooooooo much easier after the marathon work on the table. It took about 15 minutes per chair and 20 minutes for the bench. For the chairs underneath the seat piece I noticed two pre-drilled holes. But they are not for any use. I wonder what they are for

Good quality table for the money. I put it together by myself in less than 3 hours!

Someone else mentioned that not all the holes lined up, but still rated the product 5 stars. I feel differently.The parts that were shipped only allow me to assemble 3 out of the 4 chairs. Two of the chair legs were drilled incorrectly so the fourth chair can only be correctly put together if I re-drill peg inserts (and ruin the cosmetic appearance) or work with the manufacturer to get new parts - neither options are what I would expect after dropping over $800 on a table.I called the manufacturer, only to find out that none of their phone staff can assist me in obtaining the correct parts. I was informed that I would have to contact them through their website and await a response. I sent an email (only option allowed) with photographs of the of the wrongly provided pieces and explained my situation.Not sure how long it will take, as I was not provided a wait estimate. Will update accordingly.Also, be prepared for a very heavy mothball smell. It stunk bad, but it is better after thoroughly wiping off each piece. I expected that the table would take awhile to assemble (6 hours is no joke), but did not expect to receive an incomplete set. I feel that a complete set would look nice like the description advertised.

This table looks nice but it isn’t an easy build. The price was great. It’s sturdy. That said it takes hours to build. It has no pre drilled holes. I pulled out power tools because it was taking forever. I gave up on the two leaves and put them in storage so the table is pictured without, fortunately I don’t need them and may attempt at another time. The “branded” designs are a bit odd but overall I don’t mind them. This is not a typical furniture build and really is for someone with time and some ability.

Great table and chair dining room set. Had everything marked and had extra hardware in case you lost it. My husband is very handy so it was not too bad for him, took all day to put together. The quality of the set is awesome. The color shown matched my hardwood floor. Very happy with this set.
