I am so pleased with the dining room table and chairs. The chairs are both sturdy and comfortable. The table is perfect for dining and other uses. I have held meetings there use it for my daily devotions. The wood is attractive. To protect the finish of the table from the materials for devotions and other uses, I use a protective covering. The pieces were carefully packed, had no scratches, and I want it to stay that way! Assembly went smoothly. Yeah!
