Comfortable, sturdy and pretty. Installation was fairly easy, my husband and I did it together, took about 3 hours, with a dinner break.  Of note, the chairs and table came with brass screws and they mis- threaded fairly easily.  And some of the holes didnt line up as nicely as one would hope. But a little elbow grease did the trick. Overall, Im very happy with these,  and I would purchase again.
