This set is nice and big and bold! It is very block-like, like the photos show so it really looks exactly the same in person. The pieces are bigger than I originally thought (Dimensions are provided). With two chairs and a couch in our Living Room, we ultimately decided we had too much furniture and moved one end table to a bedroom as a bedside table. Putting it together was relatively easy however, instead of a right and left bracket on the coffee table, we had two rights. We had two options 1. Put it together and have bottom board not lay flat or 2. Drill the appropriate holes in the other side. We drilled the holes, which most people would have huge problems with. They look good though! Solid furniture! Not flimsy!
