This isn’t the fanciest dining set you’re going to get, but it works perfectly in our small, one bedroom apartment. It looks very nice and was quick and relatively easy to assemble with only a little improvisation. With the bench it easily pushes up against the wall and can be pulled out if we have company. It’s a little rickety and needs some reinforcement, and the finish at the corners wears down pretty easily with use, but you can’t beat the price on this set. Any issues that have popped up we could very easily fix. All in all we have been very with out purchase.
