Surprisingly we received this set in about 5 days. 2 chairs per box and well packaged, table arrives in one box..may not arrive all on the same day. I would consider this a medium duty set with satin finish. Table is sturdy with a nice flat surface. Each chair is assembled using 8 stainless steel bolts and nuts. If the chair legs do not set correctly, unloosen the nuts a bit and sit in the chair to align everything and then re-tighten the nuts. When assembling the table, do not over tighten the bolts as you are screwing into aluminum threaded sleeves. The nuts on the back of the chairs come will a black plastic cover. Comes with 9/16" open ended wrench...not enough space to use powered tools. I suspect the more expensive sets are a bit heavier with a better powder coating finish. Best part is that my wife is happy and I can move on to a different project.
