I waffled on whether I should buy this set for so long, and I still wasn’t convinced after initially receiving and assembling the chairs. But once I received the table and put it all together and got proper lighting in the dining room, I fell in love. (Lighting is critical because the fabric can either read gray or cream, depending on the lighting.) It’s my favorite dining set that I’ve ever owned now and so sturdy. Great price for the quality too!!
