I opted to have delivery to the room I wanted and well with money!  The assembly was easy and only needed help flipping the table top over onto the base.  A woman can do it and everyone asks where I found such a beautiful dinning room set for $800.00 which compares to a $2000.00 set in furniture stores! Chairs are comfortable, sturdy, and accommodate bigger men/women. I bought the maple finish which is beautiful.

Pros: Sturdy, easy to assemble
Cons: Shipping took about 10days which was faster than the estimate given at the time of order.
