I love this set! It was super easy to put together, has a beautiful finish, and is very heavy duty and sturdy! It fits perfectly in the small area of my dine in kitchen. I couldn't have asked for a better set, especially for the price! Also, for those of you that would like to add a couple extra seats, the 2 that came with it fit just fine on the short ends, so you can add 2 extra stools of your choice to each longer side. I have one long side against a wall, in front of a large window, the 2 included stools on the short sides, and 2 more stools on the open long side. =)
