Just what we needed for our son's first apartment.  It is a nice dinette set for the price.  The frame is a powder-coat metal while the 'wood' surfaces are composite boards with a vinyl type covering that looks like wood.  It's compact size still provides ample dining space while fitting nicely in an apartment setting.  Assembly was easy.  Shipping was SUPER fast and the price was great - considering I caught it on sale.  I would recommend the dining table set with the caveat that it is 'economy furniture' - don't order it expecting it to be solid wood surfaces.  It is a great solution for an apartment dining set.
