I think the set is gorgeous! the reason i have it 3 stars was because it was delivered very damaged. i can only use 3 chairs at the moments. the table top was damaged as well as one of the seats. i have not been able to get in touch with the manufacturer. i left them a voicemail and i have not heard back from them. from what i could gather the chairs are very sturdy and the table appears to be as well. great piece! and super fast shipping!...hopefully i can get replacement parts easily so i can enjoy my new table.
