I was looking for a fun and functional dining set as we transition our home decor to mid-century modern. While this furniture is not exactly heirloom quality, it's plenty durable and a great value for the price. The chairs and table assembly was pretty easy, though a bit time consuming as others have pointed out. The furniture arrived very quickly (2-3 days) and safely...no dings, dents or scratches. The chairs are comfortable and have a great mid-century modern vibe.
