This is a very practical dining set at a great price. But don't expect that you're getting more than what you bargained for - the tabletop is very pretty and looks like real stone but is laminate over plywood. The stools are also attractive, but one has already had a spring pop out of the backrest. I've had the item for 5 months now and am happy with my purchase, but it's not the same quality that you would get for a better price.
