East West Furniture AVBR5-LWH-02 5 Piece Dining Table Set for 4 Includes an Oval Kitchen Table with Butterfly Leaf and 4 Light Beige Linen Fabric Parsons Chairs, 42x60 Inch, Linen White

I was very hesitant about buying online due to lack of pictures and/or pictures that look like a digital render. So here are lots of pics and detailed perspective from having the set for a couple months now. Super high level: Pros = cheaper than sets I saw at furniture stores with upholstered chairs, color/finish is as expected, good size for limited space, fold-in leaf is cool and functional. Cons = hours of tightening bolts with allen wrenches, chair backs are more firm than I hoped, lots of boxes/packaging materials. Overall I feel it is a good value for the price paid.Delivery: Good. When ordering I was able to select a 3hr window on a specific day for delivery. I received confirmations closer to delivery time, and the guys who carried in the boxes were professional and got in and out efficiently. The set came in 4 or 5 big boxes with lots of packaging/padding materials inside. I happened to have a big open living room to unpack and assemble it in which was helpful.Table: Good. The color is a creamy slightly off-white. The two semicircle halves of the table pull apart to expose the leaf. It is fairly intuitive to unfold the leaf and put it into place. Pulling the table apart or pushing it back together is a smidge challenging for one person, but doable, and would be no problem with two people. I like the fold-in leaf design but I wish there was not a visible "crease" in the middle of the leaf once the leaf is fully in place. Note that when the leaf is NOT in place the chairs can't be pushed in all the way, they end up running into each other and have to be pulled out another 2-3". When the leaf is in place the chairs all push in comfortably until they are up against the base of the table. The only damage I spotted on the set when installing was a small dent in the base (pictured). Installing the table alone took me probably 60 to 90 minutes, lots of allen wrenching and the provided wrenches wear out too quickly.Chairs: The chairs are more beige in color, with legs that match the color of the table. The chair fabric feels durable, but it does have quite a few strings that hang off and might need a trim (pictured). They are comfortable enough to sit in for a meal. Not sure how comfortable they would be to sit in for an extended period. There isn't a ton of padding on the butt of the chairs, but on the underside they have big springy reinforcements that provide some "give"/squish feeling when you sit down. I wish the backs were a little squishier, they are quite firm but I like the look of the chair backs so I consider it an okay trade-off. The black fabric on the underside of the chairs annoyed me; they have velcro around the perimeter to stick to the bottom of the chair, but the fabric pieces were slightly oversized and didn't velcro in place very securely. None of them have started falling off though so I guess it's good enough. The chairs required a stuuuuupid amount of time to assemble. Tons of long bolts you have to screw in for minutes at a time. I ended up pausing my efforts to purchase a set of hex bits for my drill because my fingers were in pain from using the allen wrenches manually. The drill didn't work "perfectly" because once the bolt is deep enough, the resistance is too much and the drill stops. But this saved me probably hours of time and effort putting the chairs together. The one chair I did fully by hand took me at least an hour.

We love this white oval 5 piece dining set. It’s elegant and versatile. I love self storing leaf mechanism. The chairs are light weight and comfortable.

If you’re contemplating purchasing this dining set, buy it, you won’t regret it. It’s gorgeous

The table is so beautiful and nice quality overall. The chair seats could be a little bit softer but overall its amazing!

Very nice set. Heavy & sturdy.

Very easy to assemble.Looks great.. 👍🏻 😍

Seem to be good quality, but the table has only top partThe customer doesn't want to do anything about...

The table is pretty but came with cracked pieces. The inlay is stored within the table. We cannot get to it because the 2 top pieces will not open. We spent an hour trying to maneuver the top, and failed. Tge one side is completely stuck, then we realized there were cracks in the frame and othe places. Possibly causing the issue. Hoping for a replacement. The chairs are fine, very cheap foam, not comfortable.
