Levy 7-piece Antique Dining Set

My parents had their 20th anniversary and together with my brother we wanted to buy them something elegant and beautiful. I went to Overstock and saw this Levy 7-piece Antique Dining Set and of course ordered it instantly. The design and style is amazing, versatile and the antique finish, the hardwood constructed solid chairs and table look high quality and full of grace. The dark color reflects a warm and cozy atmosphere and it fills the whole dining room. Just amazing.

It took about 1 1/2 week from ordering to receiving the pieces. The delivery company was kind enough to bring the pieces into the dining room. One corner of the table has a noticeable scrape - probably due to improperly wrapped pieces that were damaged in transit. 2 bolts were missing for one chair assembly. Rather than waiting for replacements, we went to the hardware store and got them. Installation was relatively easy. It was a bit tricky with assembling the chairs due to a poor diagram but we figured it out. (Here's the trick - shortest length bolts to attach middle chair back to middle of the seat, medium length bolts to attach front legs to seat in the corners and longest length bolts to attach chair back to the seat at the corners). Quality of the finish is below average as the manufacturer did minimal sanding and thus certain spots are rough. The paint job is average as it seems a machine sprayed each piece and some spots are missed. There are small unpainted sections between 2 pieces of wood at the back lattice. The undersides of the table and chairs are very rough and unfinished. I have seen 4X4s that are more sanded. Luckily, we won't see the undersides. The upholstered seats are a bit hard but hopefully they will soften with use. Seat cover is a tannish/light brown color and seems to be of good quality. The assembled table and chairs seem very solid and could take some abuse. Overall, it is a good value for 6 chairs and a table but I would have gladly paid $100 more for better sanding and paint. We will be keeping the set since it is still a decent set even with its many shortcomings.

My friends said "How can you buy furniture without seeing it?" Well I would rather buy online than go into a store and this was no exception. I read the reviews and made a decision and this was one of the best ones I've made. I was looking for something simple and clean, yet elegant for my newly updated dining room and this set fit the bill perfectly. We still marvel at how beautiful and substantial the table is--I will no longer use a tablecloth! The chairs are perfect and everything was very easy to put together. It was also delivered one week from the order date which I didn't expect and was pleasantly surprised. I will continue to order from Overstock whenever I can.

As soon as I saw this antique dining set I fell in love with it. The price is amazing for such a set. I was always looking for something classic, stable and stylish. This is what I found in this set. It is massive enough for the price and looks great in the dining room. I am sure this dining set, the table and chairs will last for a long time. Everyone is invidious on this furniture, which does not surprise me. The lines and fabric, the work is excellent.
