4x4 Truss Beam Table

We recently moved into our new house and had an empty dining room.  Instead of buying tons of furniture, I bought a compound miter saw, a drill, & a Kreg jig.  I'm the heavy lifting & my wife is the cosmetics.  We couldn't be happier with how the table and bench turned out.  We get complements constantly on the set.

Everything looks great ... what grade of wood did you use? My fear is if I use the cheap stuff from Lowes or HD that it will shrink up on me. I know the Kreg Jig will work to alleviate gaps, but I didn't know if you upgraded wood to help as well.
