I love the set. the problem i had and the reason for 4 stars is the first set delivered after a delay in shipping. when it was dropped off ( a month after ordering), the box was damaged and unfortunately the table top had damage on one corner. i worked with a representative and she was able to replace the set and have it put together for me. i am happy with the time she took in making sure my new dining set in my new home was everything i wanted it to be.
