Have had this set for about 1 year now. I paid 225 for it so had hopes that it would be decent but wasn’t expecting the highest quality and that’s about what it is. The seats of the chairs are made of real wood but when you knock on the table top it is akin to knocking on a card table. Already have a spot on it from setting a too hot bowl on there. It’s nice if you live alone or are on a budget but if not, consider another item.
