Two years after buying this set we are starting to notice more wear and tear on the chairs than I would have expected or preferred. We often have to tighten the legs and have replaced at least one button on each of the tufted chairs. That said, the table and the bench are great quality. We get compliments on them often and last night someone even asked if we'd had the table made for us. Everything also looks great together and works really well in the space. So... certainly a worthwhile buy. Expect to get much more mileage out of the table and the bench than the chairs (which we will likely replace in the next few years with - hopefully - higher-quality pieces).
