The piece appears larger in the images than it actually is. Additionally, many of the parts were chipping paint before even taken out of the box; and one of my chair backs arrived broken. Those issues and the amount of time I have spent assembling the set has made me question my decision not to purchase a higher-grade table that would be delivered assembled. This table will be suitable as a eat-in kitchen table for the next year or two as my young children get a little older, and it will be quickly replaced by a better set.
