I can’t express how wonderful this dining set has been. It is BY FAR more sturdier than ANY set I’ve looked at in expensive furniture stores. I’m so very glad I took a chance and ordered this from Wayfair! Side note it took me ALONE, less than 30 mins to assemble from unboxing it and I haven’t had to adjust or tighten anything since that day. I’ve owned this for over 6 months and really wanted to wait to give an honest review.
