The look of the dining set is awesome. The wood is beautiful and it's super easy to take the middle leaf out and put it on again. I think the table was perfect but the chairs could have been better as there are larger splinters coming out from underneath some of them. There were also some sticky spots probably from the glue used in manufacturing. I paid for assembly which was very helpful as it took a very short amount of time. They also kept the space as clean from styrofoam as possible. The one downside was that they forgot a chair during the delivery so another one was sent a few days later but it was not assembled so I had to do it myself. They sent an extra one at no charge which was nice but the screws didn't completely fit so it wasn't all that useful to have an extra.
