For months, I had been searching for a reasonably-priced but attractive and well-made dining room table set for my apartment (to replace an old one that I had used for a decade!). I had looked everywhere (all the typical stores and online). When I came across this one, I immediately liked the modern look, the espresso finish, the PRICE, and I saw that it had gotten really good reviews on this website. Basically, it was exactly what I was looking for, but I was afraid of the "too good to be true" type scenario. I was a tad worried about the missing drill holes other people mentioned; I don't have the ability to work around that, and I have no patience for missing hardware, etc. I bit the bullet and ordered it, using the SitetoStore function. Boy am I glad I did! It arrived pretty quickly (approx 1 1/2 weeks), and I was a little worried about the box fitting into my small car (plus, I have no one to help me and I'm a fairly small girl LOL) but the WalMart associates were extremely helpful. I was able to enlist a friend to help me get the box into my apt and then it was my project to assemble. I will say, that the table was very easy to put together, but the chairs were really tricky and time-consuming. This isn't a bad thing, just something to be aware of in advance. I am glad others mentioned it in their reviews, because they were dead right, therefore I was mentally prepared, lol. This set is made of real wood, and it is very glossy and attractive. The other review which states the seat cushions are a little different is also dead-right, and I agree with her that they are actually even prettier in person. VERY nice aesthetic, and very comfortable, too. Agreed that the table is small scale, the chairs are somewhat small, but I like this, because other sets I have seen with four chairs usually are too cramped once people are actually sitting on them, this is not the case, here. All in all, this was a fantastic purchase and I do recommend this product. I had no issues with missing hardware or drill holes. It ended up being pretty fun to assemble, I just turned on some happy music and went to town! I am VERY pleased with the outcome, and I still can't get over the price. It looks a lot more expensive than it is, and it is very well-made. The seat cushions are thick, covered with substantial micro-suede like fabric that is quite high-end in appearance. I am very glad I purchased this.
