I was shocked to see how little the box was when it arrived but once I put it together I was pleasantly surprised. It is somewhat smaller but definitely not kid-looking. I put it in my mud room and it fits perfectly. It did take me like 3 hours to put together. The material and cushions all seem like it will hold up together nicely. My only complaint is that the holes in one of the chairs did not line up so I have not been able to put it together. Also, the bottom piece on the coffee table was not correct size to reach all the holes on the legs. It was like it didnt even belong. I will have to call customer service....
