I personally bought a returned set. most times what ever reason it was an open box item is a minor issue, and most times fixable. But is non returnable after purchase. one of the stool was unfortunately improperly built, where a piece metal that is suppose to be inside the interior the chair now stick out underneath. Since mental cannot be fixed by hand. the chairs them selves are pretty. but do wish this particular set was not re sold after returned the first time.
