There was some minor damage on my set (which I had read on many reviews). I did get it all together & made most of it work but I bought the 5 year warranty, so I can replace anything if needed. Despite the minor damage, the table are sturdy & are beautiful! Its worth it even with the little things. Shipping said it'd be a bit but they came in like 3 days. They are definitely a great deal but I will say, get the warranty, get the warranty, get the warranty! Dont cheap out & not. 5 years is a great warranty to have. In the end, when your done with them you can fix any issues & resell. Update! I filed a claim  & they sent me a whole new set & I donated the damaged one. The new set had NO damage & is beautiful.
