Not sure of the other reviews Ive seen, but I LOVE this set. Absolutely perfect for my dining room. And assembly, couldnt be easier, a 10 year old could do it with a little direction.. put all 6 chairs and table together in less than 2 hours.. and I was taking my time..
The rustic look is amazing and the tables and chairs are SOLID .. 
Highly recommend this if you like this style, and look.
