The table is very heavy and of good quality. I purchased four chairs that can be seen in the advertised photos of this table. I received 3 large boxes: 1 box contained the table 2 boxes containing 2 chairs in each box. Everything was packaged and delivered with care. I cannot believe the price that I paid for this set was under 600 and that was including taxes. I am in love and totally obsessed with this table set. Facebook went crazy over my photos. Thank you Casagear!!!
