Don't get me wrong - I love my dining set and the chairs are comfy. This was a bit of a bear to assemble - it took a very long time and was awkward. I won't count that against this, but what is a problem is that you can't have the white pleather fabric touch the table legs for any length of time without the brown color from the wood coming off on the fabric. Luckily I discovered this when there was only one tiny patch and I was able to angle the chair so you don't see it in the dining room - but this is definitely a problem if you use your dining room set a lot.
