This table and chairs set is a really great deal. It's very affordable, the pieces are very sturdy and I would expect them to last several years. I didn't realize it from looking at the picture and did not read the description thoroughly enough to see that this table is rectangular and not square. It would not have prevented me from purchasing, but good to know that two sides are shorter than the other two. The pieces were easy to assemble and instructions were easy to follow. I took a cue from another reviewer and mixed the colors so that each chair is two colors instead of one AND IT LOOKS GREAT! I love that the furniture came with a two sided Allen wrench and Phillips screwdriver tool so I didn't have to search for my own. One word of caution: this set comes with EXACTLY the amount of hardware needed to put it together, so be careful not to lose any during assembly. :-)
