This dining set is sleek and modern and looks a lot more expensive then it is. I needed a new kitchen table but did not want to spend a lot since my family is so hard on furniture. The best part is that is durable and very easy to clean. I have 3 little boys who are hard on furniture and spill A LOT and this table has held up to everything. It took my engineer husband about 45 minutes to put the table & 6 chairs together so not too bad. The parts were all labeled properly and the directions very easy to follow. I highly recommend this dining set.
