My wife and I love the Pub Set.  There's something about sitting at a higher level that makes dining more enjoyable.  I even enjoy reading the morning paper at the new height.  The set was simple to assemble and the quality of the wood is fine.  My only minor complaint is that the finish is very thin and seems to be wearing off of the stools in places already.  I have treated all the pieces with Johnson's Paste Polish and that was before it began wearing.  Other than that, Wayfair couldn't be any better at handling the transaction or following through on shipping.  It came 4 days earlier than promised.  Thank you!
