The construction is less than solid. This table is okay but the chairs are on the flimsy side and do not seen to support larger people well. We had issues with construction and two of the chairs are uneven and wobble on level floors. One of the chairs (it's pieces) arrived broken and was not able to be put together. Overall, this set is definitely not worth the suggested price and is not really a "Deal" even at the reduced price. Shipping was fast and accurate.
