Love the set, once it was assembled!  Super comfy, with or without the accompanying cushions, sturdy, and very attractive.  Received many compliments for looks and comfort.  Everything  was well packaged and arrived unharmed, including the table top, which is real glass, not plexi.  Thank goodness for the Hubster's mechanical skills though, as one of the chairs had two screws that had to be retapped in order to actually work.  On my own I wouldn't have been able to figure out the hardware dilemma, but happy someone was around who could.  Lost a star for the assembly issue.
