It's a pretty good set. Sturdy and looks nice. Arrived quickly. I didn't read the description properly and thought it was actually distressed wood, but it is distressed wood "design"  - which means you have a piece of plywood with a photograph of distressed wood laminated on it. So, maybe I should give it a 5 star because it's my own fault, but there you go. Carry case is important and would recommend you pay the extra money to have it as this set does.
