Shipped quickly arrived early. Packed well; no damage to the table at all. Damage on chairs was superficial and they are a tough item to ship. The table and chairs were unpacked and set up in 15 minutes (small wrench provided). The scratches on the chairs took me 5 minutes to touch up with satin black paint that I had on hand.  Gave 4 stars because I had to touch up paint on the chairs. THE CHAIR WILL SUPPORT HEAVY LOADS and are comfortable. This is a solid set and YES I would buy it again.
