Good construction for the price.  Not difficult at all to put together with supplies provided in the box. Espresso color is very dark, which I expected.  Two of the chair backs arrived smashed - called customer service and they arranged for two new ones to be sent out from manufacturer.  Downside is that it could take 2-3 weeks to receive replacement chair backs.  In the meantime, I have 2 good chairs and a table to sit at.
