I wish Expresso color were more brown than black. The set was easy to assemble. Very nice size. The only thing I dislike Is the table top is soft and scratches easy, with no effort. I Have to get something to protect it from further scratches. But other than that it's a good value.I love this table but had issues putting one chair together. Everythig was going quick. I was surprised until I got to the last chair. The back would not line up. No idea why. It’s was like the hole with the dowel in it was in the wrong place! I had to chip away at the holes in order to get the screws in place. It’s still not right but it’s not used. I only needed 3 chairs so it’s ok. Very frustrating though. Took me a very long time in the end to put it all together. Other then that the set is beautiful! Bought plastic chair covers for the seats though. Didn’t want my kids staining them up.First off, be aware that the table and chairs may come as separate shipments. I had my table delivered FedEx and thought that they hadn't sent the chairs. The chairs arrived about an hour later on a separate FedEx truck. At that point I had already reached out to the seller and although there wasn't really an issue to resolve they were quick to respond to my concern.The set itself is better than I expected for the price. I found this same set on another site for nearly twice as much. Assembly was really simple and the quality is great. I was impressed with the packaging, especially the hardware. If you are looking for a simple dining set for a small area, this is perfect.This is a great table for a small apartment or townhouse. It fits perfectly in the dining room area outside of our kitchen and seats 4 people comfortably for a meal. It is pretty sturdy and assembly was easy. It came with a few nicks and scratches but I expected nothing less ordering a dining room set off of Amazon. Overall, I am happy with the product.If looking for a quick fix to a small space, this is for you. Not really sturdy but for the price, works for what I need now.Good sturdy chairs, easy to assemble. Table is pretty sturdy.Only complaint is that for the price, I was expecting a better quality. The corner of the table was chipped when I opened the box, and the trim is peeling off. The table top is not solid wood, but press board and veneer and scratches and scuffs very easily.It is a good option for small spaces.Love the way it looks! Just a little flimsy. Serves its purpose!
