Where to begin... There are many things about this dining set that I am incredibly disappointed with.
First, after it arrived and we were assembling it, we noticed that some of the legs were different lengths, so many of the legs that were shorter did not touch the ground. How does this happen?? Then, when completely assembled, we noticed that the three bench peices had their seams and buttons at different heights, so it looked funny that they were not straight across and level. Still, we liked it ok in the beginning.
After having it 9 months, we are more disappointed than ever. It is COMPLETE CRAP. The table top scratches REALLY easily, as does the fake leather chairs. We rarely use it, so I'm sure it would not hold up well in a house where it is used frequently or with children. I've also noticed that two of the horizontal wood peices on the very bottom of the table base have actually started cracking under the weight of the table!
I really don't like this set at all and wish I hadn't purchased it. Wish I could have my money back!
