Transformer Dining Set - The Host

Please note that the coffee table storage unit does NOT come with the table. This needs to be added onto the order.

We were looking for a table that would last us through the teens and into retirement (grandparenting). We thought this would be perfect. We love the fact that it can totally collapse and the bench stored underneath. Probably the only thing that would make this better is if the chairs were stackable and that the bench leaves aren't just loose in the storage base.

The table, table leaves, and bench arrived within a couple of weeks. The packaging seemed substantial but there were a couple small knicks. For us that isn't a deal breaker as this will see heavy use. We did purchase a cut of clear vinyl to protect the top of the table, but still be able to see it.

The table leaves dropped in just fine. We had to play with the bench leaves as one panel could only be in one particular spot due to where the pegs and holes were. We ended up labeling the underside of the bench leaves and marking the one that didn't want to fit as "LAST".

We are still waiting on the coffee table and chairs. They were listed as limited quantity when we ordered then received an email that they were backordered. We still do not have an estimated delivery date for these items.

Table and bench arrived quickly with no issues. Stunning, perfectly assembled, and definitely a statement piece in our new kitchen. Absolutely obsessed. 5/5 stars.

The chairs on the other hand leave a lot to be desired. They arrived three months late (despite the description saying our set was ready for quick delivery). And while they are sturdy and nice looking once put together, I was not prepared for how awful the assembly process would be. I have put together a LOT of new furniture since moving to our new house and this was by far the worst experience. Pieces don’t align easily, screws don’t catch how they’re supposed to, washers are very small and slide through holes. A chair with 12 screws shouldn’t be this challenging. Just a mess. 2/5 stars.

Get the table/bench set and skip the chairs.

I love the table and how I can change the size, but it can only really accommodate 10 people in chairs (comfortably). I needed it to seat 12 comfortably in chairs. Having it a little wider would have been nice too, to allow for serving dishes to remain on the table and not squish the dining plates.

Love love love it , just what we needed for all of our friends thank you !

This is exactly what we’ve been looking for. I can extend it easily by myself and it fits our varied needs as a retired couple with children and grandchildren living close by. My wife and I are so pleased to have it. I would recommend it to anyone. If it seems a little pricey, wait until you see the quality and your only regret is that you didn’t get it sooner.
