I am hard to please, and I am very happy with this table and chairs.
Cons:
It is small, but the dimensions are given in the item, so this should not come as a surprise. It is good for us in a small apartment.
The table was kind of difficult to put together. The chairs had quite a few steps and I was not able to use my cordless power screw driver because of the angles.
Pros:
good solid construction. THE CHAIRS DO NOT WOBBLE! PLEASE READ: You need to sit the chairs up on all 4 legs before tightening them all the way. I realized this immediately because I am a mechanic and it is pictured this way in the instructions....but the instructions do not specifically state this. There is naturally a small amount of play between the screws and holes....if you do not stabilize all 4 legs of the chair on the ground....then tighten them, or if you lay the chair on it's side then tighten the screws.....your chair will wobble on a flat floor.
Attractive & solid table. The table is solid wood, the chairs and all of it is solid wood. the chairs are comfortable to sit in because of the cushion.
The finish seems to resist scratches. We have used this table seeveral times and it does not have any nicks or scratches on it at all.
Advice:
Use glue in your assembly. Elmers glue, or wood glue applied to contact points, dowel rods, and screws will make your assembly more solid, stable, and durable.
Stand chairs up on all 4 legs before tightening the legs all the way. see above notes for more details.......if you do not stand the chairs up, they will wobble. ........this really is common sense.
