"Our 7' teak table and bench finally arrived this week. The order did take almost 4 months to complete and I was getting pretty impatient with French Country Direct. My wife wanted a rustic farm table for our kitchen and we initially were going to purchase one through Restoration Hardware. We decided not to use Restoration Hardware after we learned that their tables were made of natural pine and would stain easily. Also not to mention their prices are through the roof for furniture that isn't exceptionally made. After a couple hours of searching online I found French Country Direct and placed my order with them. The price was good and the teak would is much less susceptible to stain. Anyway, my order finally came 4 months later. I was pretty annoyed at the wait, but I have to admit that it was worth it. The table and bench are beautiful. They weigh about 400 pounds combined so they are very heavy and sturdy. I also think the craftsmanship is great as well. It isn't perfect, but on a distressed wood farm table I think thats the point. The whole table is sanded very well so there is no chance for splinters. Bench and table top are extremely smooth. My son even left a red popsicle sit on the table the first day we had it, and we cleaned it up with a wet cloth no problem. The wood is already distressed so if you have kids you don't have to worry about them scratching it or staining it. When we moved into our new house we bought approximately $30,000 worth of new furniture from multiple high end stores. I have to say that this is our favorite piece of furniture and definitely receives the most compliments. As far as building the table it was very easy. We had trouble lining up the holes at first for the screws, but then we tried turning the table around and the holes lined up perfectly. With a ratchet wrench we had table and bench built in 15 minutes. The only hard part was the weight of the table. You'll need two guys to get it set up. I love this table. It blows any tables that Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware or Arhaus Furniture have out of the water and is half the price, or maybe less than half the price."
