I was a bit skeptical to have purchased a table from a website I had never heard of, but to my surprise the table was delived earlier than the expected date of delivery. The table was a cinch to put up (my boyfriend and I did it). The chairs were a bit more time consuming, i had to sit on the chair to make sure the screws were going in the right way. The finish of the table was more than I expected. The chairs came in first and by the size of the box I thought the table was going to be put together by two sides with a line going down the middle of the table but the table itself came in the next day with the box shaped like the platform of the table. Very pleased! (:
