I've been looking for a dining room set for a while now and I was not disappointed with my purchase of this one. It came in one big box. The chairs and table were simple to put together (just took a little time). All the pieces were individually in their own bags so it wasn't confusing to know what nuts/bolts to use with what parts of the chair/table. I love the height of the table because no my dog can't get his nose into things. The table is very sturdy and the chairs are as well! Very excited to have this as our dining room table!!
