This dining room set far exceeded what was advertised and exceeded our expectations. The wood working is the highest quality with NO composite wood; all solid wood construction and excellent reinforcing.  The chairs are very comfortable and heavy.  Nothing bad to say about the product.  

Pros: solid wood, assembly was easy but get yourself a small power driver to save your wrist.
Cons: The shipping was extremely poor- every box was severely damaged; however because the products were protected inside nothing was damaged.
