Do not expect this set to look like what is in the picture. When I opened the boxes, the pieces are closer to a dark Walnut rather than the Oak listed. I know wood furniture varies when it is stained, but this was a HUGE difference. I had to return the item because it was nowhere near close to what is shown. It would have been a great table, all the pieces were in great condition and very sturdy. It is just not what I ordered at all.

This was not the easiest piece of furniture I have ever put together. The directions were very difficult to follow at times and some pieces needed to be taken apart and redone once it was realized the wrong screws were used. This may be in pat because some of the screws for the chairs less than a quarter inch smaller (or larger if your prefer) than the other. Once we figured out what we were doing, it took two people a total of ten hours (five hours each) to assemble it.

However, it was worth it as the finished product is beautiful. It looks far more expensive than what I have paid for it. I have received multiple compliments one it and am very pleased with it. Unlike some furniture that is put together, this does not look like it was and is very, very sturdy.

I ordered this set from another website. The chairs and table were fairly easy to assemble and are beautiful. My only complaint would be that there is a tiny nick in the finish of the the table leaf (but that may just be an issue of the place I purchased it from). It is barely noticeable, even to me, but it's there. Other than that, it's a great set. Also, the color is more like a light cherry finish. Very pretty. I would definitely buy this set again!
