I really like my dining set. The table is smaller than I thought, but overall I love it. I love the fact that I have 6 chairs because I love to entertain. The chairs, however, are not sturdy, firm (solid) chairs. It has no real support for your back. It's basically the faux leather covering over a regular "hall"-type or "meeting room"- type chair. The legs of the chair are thin, not thicker to hold someone firmly (I don't think) so I would not recommend this set for anyone who requires a sturdy chair to accommodate heavier body types or over the recommended weight indicated on the website description. Although it has this appeal, I think it's a simple, but beautiful set for my starter apartment.
