We love this table and chair set!!  We had one similar to it for 20 years and it worked well for us when our 4 kids were growing up.  We recently retired and moved from Ct to NC and decided the old table looked kind of sad in our new home.  We wanted a light colored new table and chairs for the dining area off the kitchen.  I was concerned about ordering such a big purchase online but read the favorable reviews and held my breath and pushed the "Purchase" button.  It was delivered very quickly and was easy to put together.  Well, I can say that, my husband was the one who put it together!  Actually he said the directions were simple to follow, all the pieces fit together well and everything was level once it was assembled. We are extremely pleased with this 7 piece dining set!
