You get what you paid for.  I was glad I read the reviews prior to purchasing the Noyes 5 Piece Counter Height Dining Set.  I was prepared.  I purchased the set as a low cost item to outfit my apartment of two years while working on a contract.  Per the reviews I purchased an electric drill as was needed to assemble the chairs and table.  The seats for the chairs did not have any holes to screw to the chair itself.  Holes needed to be drilled.  In addition, the table top contained no holes for setting to the legs.  The padded seats do not seem to line up correctly on the chairs.   It is what I expected.  The set looks good and will work fine with me.  As stated before, you get what you pay for.
