This arrived in 4 (very heavy) boxes.  Just an FYI, since I didn't see that information anywhere on the site.  

On to the review!  

What a beautiful, sturdy set.  The finish is absolutely gorgeous.  I recommend using thick placemats for your hot dishes so you don't get condensation "stains."  The chairs are the most interesting design I've seen online, and it fits perfectly with my open concept dining room.
