Excellent quality dining set!!!! Very sturdy, heavy pieces. It arrived in 4 boxes and was packaged very well. There were no dents or scratches on any part of my set, even though the box containing the table has a huge gash in it! It was easy to assemble. The color is not a bright paper white like in the photos- its a little creamy and it has distress markings. I love this set and would recommend it to anyone considering purchasing it.
