We had very little space to work with and were looking for something small and functional. After spending endless hours online searching around for a small dining set, we finally settled on this one based on its size, style, and the great reviews. It was on sale, shipping was free (and fast!), and when it arrived we were very pleasantly surprised after assembly that it even looked better than we expected. It's sturdy, comfy, and stylish... looks perfect by the window!
