The set was a perfect addition to the kitchen!  I was very impressed with the weight and strength of the chairs and table, and the ease of assembly.  The finish seems to be very good....thick and sturdy so it should stand up to everyday use.  Only thing I am going to do is replace the small glides on both the chairs and table with larger ones.  Personal preference on that.  I highly recommend this set for anyone needing a good, sturdy, attractive table and chair set.
