I bought this set back in March of 2009. I didn't assemble this set though until I moved into my new home with my husband (we are newly weds). Our home has a small dining room but this set works perfectly in the small space we have, not to mention the color and design is just what we wanted. However, when we were putting this set together, we received 5 right front legs instead of 4 and only 3 left front legs...they accidently gave us a right leg instead of the left. So, we were only able to put together 3 chairs out of the 4....which is a bummer. We contacted overstock customer service and hope they will be able to send us another left leg or replace the chair entirely. Since then, we've noticed the inner threads are missing to put the screws in. My husband thinks he might be able to fix it, but we will see. The table we the easiest part - we were able to put it together in 20 mins. The chairs took us about 2-3 hours. Even without the 4th chair, this set is beautiful! We received it with no scratches or marks on either the chairs or the tabletop. I would reccomend this set, just make sure you have all the right pieces.
