Shipping was quick and easy to track. The table was easy to construct but arrived broken, one of the side panels of the table is cracked in a way that looks like something was dropped or stacked on it either in the warehouse or during shipment. The panel functions as part of how the table distributes the weight of the table top so it is going to impact the stability and longevity of the table and you can see a very small amount of bowing already. Unfortunately it is integrated into the table top so it can't be swapped out.
The chairs look a little less quality in person than they do in the listing, the backs look more obviously laser cut from an inexpensive composite board. They are a true pain to put together, the hex wrenches provided are low quality and the angles you are screwing the screws in at make using the hex wrenches wildly tedious and inefficient. Once constructed they are fairly solid, though a few of them have uneven legs and so they wobble then pulled in and out of the table. Also the composite wood has something harder embedded in parts of it, we attempted to add screw-in furniture glide floor protectors to the bottoms of the chair legs and in some cases we hit something so hard it stripped multiple screws.
This is less of a long term problem because it has faded over the last week, but all of the wooden pieces in this set smelled incredibly strongly of glue and formaldehyde in a way the pervaded the whole house and required an air purifier to tamp it down.
The walnut color is a nice warm, mid-tone brown and overall the table and chairs look good together. The table top has a pretty grain to it and it is sizeable enough for 4 people comfortably and 6 people with some elbow politics. Also, unlike the chairs, the table does not wobble.
We are keeping it because the idea of attempting to initiate a return on an already built set of furniture is exhausting, but several aspects of this experience could have been better and it gives me pause about making other large purchases from Wayfair.
