I was a little skeptical buying something online without actually seeing it in person first. But I was pleasantly surprised at the quality.  I definitely think it was worth what I paid for it, plus I got it on sale so that was a bonus. For the past 10 years I have been using a pub height dining room set so I am still getting used to how low this set is.  We did some checking and the standard dining room set table is 30 inches high and standard chairs are 18 inches, so this that falls in the standard zone. It took my husband a few hours to put it together and he did it himself, so it was fairly easy.  It came a lot quicker than the estimated delivery which was great. I have wood floors in my dining room and the chairs move easily on the floor without scratching it.  When the table is used without the leaf it is quite small which is my only criticism. So we have opted to leaving the leaf in all the time.  We are very happy with it and I do recommend this set.
