Black and Oak Counter Height Pub Set with Bench

FINALLY, a company that knows how to package something properly for shipping. It did have a 2 inch, shallow, semi circular ding on one of the stools. I'm guessing it was a manufacturing flaw because the packing it came in looked like it would fare well in a hurt locker, or at least thwart the damnedest efforts of the most brutally vengeful delivery dude. I HAD to mar the flawless table top with a belt buckle when I was moving it into place, can't help it no matter how careful I am, I always seem to scratch something brand new.

The table and bench tops are not plywood; whether they are in fact *real* wood or a good composite I'm not sure. But they have some weight to them and look exactly like the photos.

PRICE: I searched practically everywhere for a table set priced between $200 and $300. For that price range I found lots of 2 person cafe tables and a few big, ugly, boring breakfast sets. This set proved the most unique 4-seater I could find.

SELLER: As other reviewers have mentioned, the package arrived SO well wrapped it looked like it would have survived a nuclear explosion. All pieces were delivered in perfect condition. They were sent UPS, no-signature needed, 70 lb. package. At one point I did have a question for the seller and it was...Read more
