Since I went through so many comments and ratings to make my final decision, I know how important and helpful reviews are. We recieved our Carolina dining set a week before delivery date. Not bad, right The delivery was contactless due to the pandemic which we appreciated. The packaging was intact. Our set had no knicks or dents. It was very well packaged. It only took about one and half hours to build between 2 people and the instructions were very helpful and very easy to understand and assemble. Once built...WE LOVE IT!! It was exactly what we needed in our small kitchen. This set not only looks expensive but feels expensive as well. Very sturdy and easy to wipe. The wood grain on the table top is beautiful. The measurement described on the website are exactly that. I see us keeping this set for a long time because its so solid and sturdy. I would recommend this dining set to anyone for sure.
