I checked all the reviews before I decided to get this set and it paid off! I agree with most of the reviews, it was easy to assemble, comfortable seatings and nice size table. You get what you pay for agree but bettter than what I expected for inexpensive dining room set. Since I have a fairly huge dining area I am going to buy another set and put the tables together for more seating or I can just have two in the same room. I plan to put more seat cushions and seat covers for the holiday decor! And just for information you don't normally lean back on dining room chairs that's what the sofas are for in your living room or den area. I absolutely love this set!
