Love, love, love the set.  Looks great in my new kitchen I just remodeled.  Would recommend it.  Chairs are very comfortable and sturdy.  The base of the table is beautiful just what I wanted and very sturdy also. I was looking for a small table for my kitchen and this worked perfect.  Small enough when you leave the leaf out but big enough for when you  open it up.   Well worth the money I paid for it.  I looked at several others and so glad I picked this one.
