The chairs and table are very sturdy and look as advertised. It was pretty easy to assemble and I did it without any help. The only problem was, after spending 90 minutes putting it together, I found one side wobbled a little so I will have to go find something at the hardware store to fix that (which sucks!). The table and chairs were very well packaged – as a matter of fact, it may take you longer to unpack the pieces than it will to actually put them together. Although there was a large hole in the side of the box, the glass table wasnt damaged at all.  I would suggest the company flip the table when packaging it so, when you remove the tape and open up the box, its already upside down and in position to add the chairs. I had to actually turn it over by myself which was a little scary.
