I love this dining set! Was pleasantly surprised with the ease of putting it together and seeing the final product in my little kitchen dining area.  I looked at many different sets before deciding on this one and am really glad I chose it. It arrived a day sooner than I was first notified, in two boxes - chairs in one, table in the other. I honestly kept expecting there to be missing parts or poorly drilled holes (based on previous experiences), but no, every piece was there, and everything lined up just as it should have. I was able to put it together all by myself and other than cursing the name of the inventor of the hex screw (sore fingertips!), everything was perfect! It's sturdy and all the paint was in perfect condition. I am very pleased and can highly recommend this set!
