I love this dining set. It's perfect for small spaces.  Looks just as pictured. I purchased it to go with the crossed legged coffee table and they were a perfect match (return coffee table though). This table set ships in two parts. I received the table first and then the chairs two days later. It took less than an hour to put everything together by myself. The glass is very heavy, probably safer to have help laying it on the tables foundation. My only complaint (not a real one) would be that I would have liked the chairs to be a richer black. Compared to the table, they seem more of a dark, dark gray. However, the chairs are extremely comfortable...I was pleased. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend. From the packaging down to the extra parts, you are getting your monies worth.
