I LOVE this set! I was blown away by the quality of the wood and paint finish. It is solid wood..NO particle board crap. Everything was milled to nearly perfect, and the paint finish was substantial, yet smooth and hard. This set was made in Vietnam, and I have to credit them for manufacturing such a beautiful & sturdy set. The table pedestal is large & heavy, and this table stands firm & does not rock at all. Assembly is easy. The set comes packed extremely well...no damage in shipping. The linen white color has a slight greenish cast to it (not exactly ivory color like the photo shows) but I like this shade very much. We are extremely happy with this purchase, and would recommend this set to anyone.
