This dining set was exactly as expected - which is great. The top does scratch easily however (and leave a white scratch mark as it obviously takes off the dark stain/finish) and the chairs don't feel extremely solid. However, I do think that's expected for the price of this piece. It's not something you expect to have for 20+ years. 
The wood is a lovely finish, and the upholstery on the chairs is lovely. Very easy to put together!
