Arrived as schedule, in excellent condition, a surprisingly well-made set, sturdy, easy to assemble. Stools are comfortable enough for a quick meal, but aren't designed to be occupied for long periods. My quibble is a design flaw in the tabletop (which is actually attractive, especially since it's not made of solid wood): The top has small grooves -- zoom in on the photo to see for yourself -- which become a natural trap for crumbs and tiny bits of food. Not sure who thought that was a good idea. I use placemats, so it minimizes cleanup, but the top needs to be vacuumed clean every so often to keep it crumb-free. Not a deal-breaker, I'd buy the set again -- it was easily the nicest set I saw at this price point -- but a poorly-designed tabletop knocked off one star.
