Its beautiful and stylish set, and we expected some  assembling struggles based on the reviews we read.  The chairs and table were assembled with some difficulties. The instructions were unreliable, but my husband is handy and was able to figure it out himself.  The first shipment we received came damaged and there was a quarter-size cracks on the table top surface.  I called customer service and Wayfair immediately sent a replacement table. We asked for the top only but they sent the entire table again. On the second shipment, the table top also got slightly damaged with what looks like small nail-tip punctures on the surface. They werent too noticable and my husband was dead fed up with the experience so were just going to keep it as is.  As for the chairs, besides some assembly hic-ups, they came together nicely. They are on the low-height side as some reviewers mentioned.  The chairs cant go completely under the table so the whole set actually take up more space than expected.
