The instructions for the table were terrible. The first table was ruined by bolts that appeared too long and cracked the top of the table. Once we received a new table, we already had experience putting it together and still one bolt when trying to tighten completely started to crack the top again. Figured that they wouldn't send us another one. The chairs are great. Pretty easy to assemble and very sturdy. In all we like it. But, I couldn't give it better than a 3 due to the difficulty putting the table together.
