This is a really nice set. I'm extremely pleased considering the low cost.  Assembly was easy, even though there were no written directions, just diagrams. The table and chairs are sturdy, and look great. The color of the finish matches the web picture.  One hint - while you're waiting for your set to arrive, go out and buy a 4mm Allen wrench socket that you can snap on a 3/8 ratchet.  The little Allen key that comes with set will kill your fingers before you are finished assembling. This will also cut assembly time considerably. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase, as I was with a previous purchase from DiningRooms Direct.  If this set meets your needs, go for it, you won't be disapointed.
