Linon Space Saver 5-Piece Set

Comments about Linon Space Saver 5-Piece Set:

Cleared out all furniture in my formal dining room which was only used once a year so we could convert to a nice sitting room. Since I'll still be hosting my once-a-year holiday meal, I still needed a way to seat 8 - 12 people in the same room. I purchased two of these space saver sets which look great on either side of my fireplace and with just a little re-arranging of furniture I'll be able to use them as dining tables when needed. Three easy fix things I came across with this set:

1. When assembling the table, attach the swing legs LAST with the table upright. If you attach them at the beginning as indicated in the instructions, the pivots fall out because you're turning the leg base upside down to attach to table top.

2. Be careful when screwing in the the "stopper" for the swing legs. I cracked one in half because I screwed it too tight.

3. You may want to consider a chair pad - especially if you and your guests will be sitting for awhile. I tested these chairs out while wearing shorts and the edge of the chair was a little sharp against the back of my leg. Probably not a problem if you have slacks on.

Assembly was a breeze - I put them together by myself with a little help from my husband at the end. All-in-all I'm very happy with the set. It's given me back a nice room that was never being used and will still provide me with enough space to feed my small holiday crowd! And best of all, it didn't cost me a fortune!

This seems to be quite solid and it is so functional. The tiny little ratchet that these come with works well, but it takes longer than using a ratchet from your tool box. I did change the knob on the door to a chrome one to better match my kitchen. I actually bought this as a temporary solution until I find something I really want for my new home. That being said, I know that I will use this as an extra table for years to come. It folds out to a pretty big table and then folds down so small. It's kind of a fun thing to have when you need extra seating or a table for kids to play on or do crafting. I am so glad that I bought it. It is a solid piece and a bit heavy. If you are looking for something very light weight and super easy to move this would not be the table for you.
