I was on the fence for several weeks but after building this dining set I'm glad that I completed my purchase. At this price point I was prepared for some imperfections but after assembly I found very little to complain about. I tend to over do things a little and this dining set was no different, I used wood glue on the dowels and blue loctite on the screws and after several weeks of use everything still feels tight well put together. As a few other reviews point out, a couple of the chairs don't sit completely level with the floor but mine are hardly noticeable, feel sturdy and don't move at all when sitting in them. This was a concern of mine but I'm glad it didn't stop me from purchasing. The color and finish are nice and really tied in well with the home. Great investment, I couldn't have asked for much more.
