A really great dining set. I am very pleased. I was looking for something solid and stable, and this is it. No flimsy and creaking legs here. Both the table and the chairs are extremely sturdy. Feel free to dance on them! The wood is very beautiful as well as the cushions on the chairs. I've received many compliments. The table and chairs are easy to assemble and took me and my dad about 1.5 - 2 hours. I highly recommend this be done by two people, as the table is quite heavy! One small complaint, but at this price it isn't such a big deal. On a couple of the chair backs, the top front of the chair back is seen to be a little lumpy, especially if bright light hits them just right. As if the person(s) doing the planing didn't quite make them as smooth and flat as they could be. But again, for me, it isn't such a big deal. It's a very small nit to pick and the hardwood is really quite beautiful, especially on the table! Oh, and if you're wondering, there is a removable leaf in the middle that measures 18 inches. I highly recommend it. Buy it now!
