Don't waste your time with this one
Lesson learned: don't let the AI-generated 5-star reviews sweet-talk you into buying this dining set. When I started assembling this, I immediately saw what a few others were saying about the pre-drilled holes not lining up to the pegs.
The quality is incredibly disappointing. And before anyone says "You get what you pay for".. this set was not cheap! It honestly feels like manufacturers have collectively decided that "good enough" is now the gold standard.
Unfortunately, the fun didn't stop with the product. Initiating the return through Sam's Club and their third-party shipping company has been a nightmare. After hearing absolutely nothing about my pickup, I followed up only to discover the return hadn't even been initiated. Finally, I got a call that someone plans to come next week for pickup. We'll see if this happens so I can just move on with my life.
If you're considering buying this set, save yourself the pain and agony.
