I really love the look of this set once it's all put together. The glass top opens up the room a bit visually. The chairs are very, very sturdy and firm - I find them to be some of the most comfortable dining chairs I've ever owned. The instructions are relatively limited, specifically on the table which was awkward to assemble due to the design - but neither were too difficult to figure out if you take your time. The table was by far the trickier of the two to put together alone, so take note of that. I'm really happy with the set and I would recommend it if you don't mind keeping that glass top clean!
