After assembling this set, I cannot stop staring at it. This set exceeded my expectations and makes our dining look much more sophisticated. Assembling directions were straight forward and my husband and I were able to get everything together in about 1hr40mins. We found making an assembly line with the chairs helped speed up the process. Overall we are more than satisfied with our decision to purchase this set from Wayfair. The wood is high quality and you can feel it in the weight and feel of the table and chairs. I would highly recommend this set to anyone who is interested!
