We've had this table now for a couple of weeks and love it. First of all I couldn't believe how fast it arrived. Less than a week. It came in three boxes and they arrived with no damage to the noses or the set. It did take a couple hours to put it together. I kind of cringed when I saw all the hardware but my husband had no problem. Nice sturdy chairs and bench. Love the butterfly leaf. Color of the table is a little lighter than I expected but it still fits perfect in my dining area. Looking forward to having all the family around the table for Thanksgiving.
