It's a beautiful set and very sturdy. The table and chairs gave me the impression of being a bit lower than normal, but being 5'4 and my wife 5'0, I think it looks pretty normal with us. However I can see how it can be a problem for bigger people. For us is just perfect. During the transportation it seems that the box containing the legs of the table became lose and was hitting the traversal boards that keep the table top slates together and one of them arrived broken. Since I don't think it has any structural function, I fixed it and placed it back. It adds lots of light to our house. If I have to complain about something is that the pre drilled hole to align the seat to the chair is not perfectly centered and requires some adjustment to make it look symmetrical.
