I received the table and chairs in one shipment, all in good condition. Assembly was easy and luckily we received all of the correct hardware. I have two issues with this set, 1) it smells terrible. When we unpacked it we left the pieces in the garage overnight to off gas, it had a very strong chemical smell, I assume from the paint or lacquer. After 24 hours we brought it in and assembled it but it still has a super strong odor. I’ll give it a few days with open windows and hope it clears up. 2) the color is not true to the photos, I ordered white, saw from the photos  it looked kind of ivory or off white, but it’s actually very beige. I’m still deciding if I’m ok with the color. Overall it’s a nice set but it’s not what I expected and if the smell doesn’t go away I will look into a return.
