Lovely looking set. While it looks nice having the two chairs side by side, you can't really sit in them that close together. My main reason for the 3 star rating is how absolutely horrid it was to put together. If you don't have a drill with the right drill bit, be prepared for your hands to hurt for like 3 days after putting it together. You also need another person to help you, it's impossible to put together alone. I had quite a few pieces come in damaged, nicks in the wood and splinters. It's a little rickety. I'm content with keeping it since I bought it on sale, but buyers beware.
