I bought this as a clearance item, and while I love it, I don't know that I would go that route again (non-refundable, non-returnable...too much uncertainty for my taste). However, it arrived in fairly decent shape. One chair had some scuffs on the wood that were easily coverable by a wooden concealer pen. One of the chairs creaks quite a bit, but not enough to keep me from loving it. Chairs are comfortable, table is beautiful.

Pros: Great price, exactly what i was looking for.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to put together, since some of the holes didn't quite line up. Some of the legs had to be manipulated in order to get them to line up.
