This item was shown as back ordered, but it became available months earlier than predicted.  I'm glad I was able to snag it because it is a really nice set.  The table requires 8 screws, and the chairs come fully assembled.  The chairs are comfortable for a meal, but my back starts to ache if I try to work at my table for more than a couple of hours.  The finish is smooth, but dull with a subtle sheen.  Everything feels rock solid.  Great quality for the price.   I'd order it again.
