I had to replace my mother-in-laws table and chairs. They got to the point they were shaking when you sat down and the table was unstable. I tried to repair both which worked for a short time until I moved. So after moving a chair to clean the carpet and the chair fell apart I knew it was time to look for a new set. I needed 6 chairs with the new table. What a deal and the price was right. Now I don't have to worry about my family falling on the floor from the old chair. I love the style.
