The more I put everything together, the more it just looks... cheap. The fact that it came damaged in places and if you even breathe on the table it chips and gets scrapes reinforces that observation. Even better, it shows every fingerprint and speck of food, drop, whatever. Oh, and it wobbles because the design is inheritly unstable. The color is much darker that it looked in the pictures. Putting it together is a pain, and I'm good at assembling furniture. It's hard to stabilize the table, things don't fit quite flush, and for some things, like the seat cushion, and chair spreaders, you're completely on your own, since there are no pilot holes or alignment guides. Definitely not worth what it cost me. When I think that I have to take it all apart to be able to return it, if they will even let me, since assembly required making my own holes for the spreaders, etc., honestly, I just want to cry.
Really, really disappointing.
