This set is terrific and an amazing value.  The table is heavy, sturdy, and impressive.  
Only very minor negatives:
The cross boards at the bottom of both ends of the table make sitting on the ends without hitting your ankles or pushing the chairs under the table difficult.  The chairs are very attractive but a little hard— not the chair for someone wanting a plush, soft cushion.  
We had none of the assembly issues other reviewers mentioned.  It was not that hard to assemble and all pre-drilled holes matched up as needed.   I love it!!
