Exceeded expectations! Beautiful dining set. Arrived on time and no damage whatsoever. Took my husband a couple of hours to assemble all 7 pieces but worth it. The leaf is self contained and gear driven. I've seen tables that cost over a grand with that kind of structural quality. The color is an off white buttercream and not a true white but it looks great even right next to a kitchen with white cabinets. The rich wood manages to offset that contrast beautifully. Highly recommend!
