This is a very nice and sturdy dining set. We use this as a breakfast table in the kitchen and feel it’s absolutely perfect. The stools are not too comfortable without a pillow however for short period of time they are perfect. I love the quality of the wood it looks like it will last a good few years. The first set I received was damaged however this was resolved very quickly by the excellent customer service at wayfair. It was very easy to put together and had it completed within the hour. Overall very happy with this purchase.
