I've had this table and chairs for at least a year now and I have zero complaints. My husband and I put it together, it's easier to have two sets of hands for this project. Directions were very straightforward and assembly wasn't difficult. The table was the simplest and the chairs took more time. The finish is nice, we've sat cups on the wood that have sweat a bunch and never have left a mark. The leaves are nice, we have left them up the whole time. If you don't have a whole lot of space in your kitchen , this is the table for you because letting the leaves down will conserve space. Just beautiful, we have been pleased with this set.
