Very nice, sturdy, good-looking set, but the cherrywood color is darker than what I anticipated. I was trying to match it up with my kitchen cupboards which are a lighter cherrywood color.....still looks nice in my kitchen/dining room though.  It wasn't hard to assemble, but it was time consuming.  I think some of the peices could have easily been pre-assembled and shipped that way. For example, the chair seats could have been attached to the frame.  They sent me screws that were much too small to screw into the chair seats, so I just went and bought some wood glue and glued them on.  Overall, I would buy it again.
