TMS Mason 5-Piece Cross Back Dining Set, Multiple Colors

I read a lot of reviews talking about how hard this was to put together or that it was damaged. My set came in perfect condition with all the parts needed. I am a 44 year old woman who put this together myself. I didn't find it all that hard. Common sense helps. First do NOT use power tools which it plainly states or you will split the wood, do not over tighten the screws and just pay attention to the directions. It took me about 2 1/2 hours total to put the table and 4 chairs together by myself. Some reviews comment the seat cushions were hard to put on or they couldn't put them on because there were no pre-drilled holes. Not true, there are holes you screw the cushions into but they are recessed so it is a tad awkward doing it but my cushions are all on with out a problem. One suggestion is if you are going to use it on a hard wood or linoleum floor just put furniture slider pads on the bottom of the chair legs. No big deal and works like a charm. Great set for smaller spaces. Glad I bought it.

This table has gotten allot of complements since I assembled it and put it in the dinning room, It is a perfect size for a breakfast nook of an eat-in kitchen. Don't expect a high gloss deep grained solid wood top, what you get is a fairly modern looking kitchen table that is not out of place with your more traditional settings. The chairs were uncomfortable at first but after a week or so of use the cushions started to wear in and become more comfortable. I was also not a big fan of the micro suede seat covers so after a few weeks of use I bought some simulated leather cloth from the cloth store and re-covered them, since I knew how the chair bottoms went on this only took about 30 mins. and $20 to do all of the chairs you can do this to give a custom look to the chairs and make them match your decor. I also have added some soft felt gliders onto the chair bottoms to make them slide easer since they have the harder plastic glides from the factory. The sight to store was easy and the box that it comes in will fit in the back seat of most cars or in the cargo area of a hatchback if the seats are let down, to give you an idea of the size of the box, it was the same size as the dimensions listed in the description for the table top and about 10"-12" thick. Tools that make assembly easier and therefore to have handy: screw gun, Phillips head bits and allen head bits, extension for screw gun and rubber or wooden mallet. Remember you can assemble this using the tools that they provide but it is easier if you have these other tools at your disposal. In short it is a great looking table and chair set that you will be proud to own.
