the set is very cute, and it is a great look and fit for the dining area in the kitchen.  i have never bought furniture sight unseen (i.e., online) before, and i'm not sure i would again.  there is a tiny flaw in the tabletop, which i did not notice until the table was assembled and i was cleaning it.  no-one else will likely notice it, but i would not have bought it at the asking price had i seen the flaw in person.  the assembly was super-easy for the professional handyperson i hired (he had an electric drill, and he assembled everything in one hour).  i was thrilled all the hardware was in perfect order!  i know furniture is very expensive, but the major downside for me is that i think i overpaid for this very simple, basic set, i have to say that the people with whom i dealt at wayfair were fabulous--competent, friendly, and patient.  had i paid $100 less for this set, i would give it 4 or 4.5 stars (i would like it to feel a bit more sturdy)
