Shaker 5-piece Dining Set

Rating

This is a delightful little dinette set. I love its looks. Many reviews pointed out the difficulty assembling the chairs. My adult son put the set together for me in an afternoon, so I can't comment on ease of assembly except to say he had no trouble assembling the set. He has had much experience in this area. However, I believe this item is now sold out, so I don't know how this review will help. I'm glad I got mine when I did.

Only buy this set if you have a lot of time on your hands. The chairs take FOREVER to put together. I could only put together 3 out of 4 of my chairs which would have really bothered me if I didn't have a Manhattan sized kitchen where the table must be flush against the wall anyway. The table does look good with my other espresso furniture though.Use coasters!

The chairs took forever to assemble. My husband nearly threw them out the window. Once he figured out how to assemble the first chair, however, the others were a bit easier. My only other complaint is that the table is very small, though I did expect this, given the measurements. It probably only seats five people comfortably. Anything more than that, and the plates will not fit the surface area of the table. Considering the cost of this set, though, I'm very happy with my purchase and would purchase this set again, if I had to do it over again. Seriously, though: those chairs are terribly difficult to put together. One needs tons of patience. Expect it to take an afternoon.

At first we felt overwhelmed, all the pieces that had to be put together, but it turned out that it was fairly easy to get it done in a few hours. The chairs are comfortable and the table is just the right size for us. We've had lots of compliments and we Love the set! We would highly recommend it to anyone.

It is super cute and very clean modern lines, but it looks like doll house furniture even in a small dining space within an open floor plan. The chairs took HOURS to put together as well as a couple of cocktails to prevent me from throwing them out of the window while fighting with that stupid little allen wrench. My table also had damage to one corner. If it weren't for the teeny tiny size I would say everything else is worth it. If you have a MICRO sized eating area (an the patience of Jobe with those chairs) then this is perfect -- Truly you can not tuck 4 people under the table without their knees crushing each other. I set the table with 4 diner plates and you are then unable to put a napkin holder and small salt and pepper shaker between the plates- the surface is that small.
