I was in search for a counter height dining table in black, this set was exactly what I wanted! The table and chairs are beautiful, and it matches my end tables and coffee table in my living room! The reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5, is for two reasons. Reason one, assembly for the table was a breeze, but I can't say the same thing for the chairs. There's no pre-drilled holes for about 6 screws. For someone who doesn't have very much hand and wrist strength, this made assembly a little difficult. Reason two, the finish of the table and chairs could be a little better for the price. I couldn't imagine the finish holding up for very long if you had kids or used the table daily. I barely hit two pieces of the chair together while I was assembling it, and it left a knick in the chair. This table works for me as I only plan to use it when I have friends or family over.
