The table top color is as dark as the rest of the table. Grooves, can’t write on. Plastic coated. Screws loosen up a lot. Lightweight chairs are nice.

Table came with dents in the top of it box damaged. I purchased the warranty and they are not doing anything for me. They want me to go buy another huge box spend hours taking it apart send it back and wait until after Thanksgiving to get another one which would probably be damaged again instead of sending me one and letting me send the other one back, they want me to be inconvenienced further.. and to spend more of my money because of their mistake

The price is affordable but the instruction for the chairs is horrible. It took us more than an hour to follow the wrong instructions. When we were about to give up, I decided to change the orders of the instructions to assemble and finally we were able to assemble all the chairs.

I'm a bit disappointed this set. I the description it states "The wire brush, white finish on the table base and chairs is truly unique" and this is NOT white. It is a cream color base. I would return it if I had a car that it would fit in because I truly wanted a white table not cream. The chairs are a bit stiff when you sit in them. The directions are not the best but I was able to work them out and get it all put together.

Order came early, that was good. The carton was damaged, which caused the pre-installed studs on the chair legs to rub on the side of the table top. I decided that I will fix the damage, and not return the whole thing. The instructions were there to assemble the table with the legs as well as all the hardware. The instructions to assemble the four chairs were missing but each chair had it's own bag of hardware, and with the parts I figured out how to assemble them, came out nice. I will complain about the packaging, to have those studs protruding among the other parts could have caused a lot more damage.

This table is very sturdy and for the price it was very cheap. The chairs are kinda hard so I recommend some pillow seat covers. When you assemble the chairs after Step 1 is complete on your 2nd step put allllll the allen bolts and washers together and attach all legs, bars and back to chair together then start tightening each bolt and then last the screws. The table took about 15-20 mins to put together. The chairs once you tackle the 1st one and know what your doing take about 15-20 mins each chair. Love the color. perfect size for a small place. BUY IT!

Aside from the bare instructions with some patience we managed to assemble this dining set. It's particularly heavy, the box weighed in at 150lbs, so it seems sturdy. The pieces all fit well, table and chairs set nicely on the floor. Very happy with the looks and build of this set. The price was a bargain in my opinion.

The chairs are impossible to put together, the screws don't screw in, took over 3 hours on one chair and still can't get it together. Definitely a defective product, I'm upset for the money it cost and the table looks brown not grey. Not pleased at all.

The board that runs perpendicular to the table top was cracked. It would have been impossible to repackage the unit to send it back. So, we glued and clamped board. And are hoping that the repair will hold. I love the look and quality of the piece, and besides the broken board, we are pleased.

The box came with no instructions and damaged pre-mounted bolts on the table legs that are bent and chipped finish on the chairs. I also think there is no hardware for mounting the cushions because there are no screws long enough. I want to return this but it's over 100 pounds and too large for me to move. Still trying to resolve.
