After researching all the reviews on this gorgeous dining room table set, I decided to take a chance and buy it without ever seeing this table in person. And let me tell you, this is one of the best purchases I have EVER made! The quality of this table is absolutely exquisite. Well made, sturdy, gorgeous feel and look. Quick and easy assembly. It's absolutely breathtaking. My husband and I are more than happy! The leaf adds for lots of extra elbow room, which we just love for our large family. Do yourself a favor and BUY this table and chair set. You will NOT be disappointed!
