This is the table we've had for the past 8 years. It has definitely gotten us by, but we decided we were way past due for a new one. Glass top tables are not very kid friendly, not to mention hard to keep clean. So, we spent a day last week visiting SEVERAL stores looking for the perfect table that would match in with our furniture and cabinets.
This is what we came up with... little did we know it was going to be such a hassle. Delivery was scheduled for Monday. They showed up late with our table and 6 chairs, but 4 of the chairs were defective so we refused them. After being so excited to get the new table, this is what we were left with... Bummer! 
The next day they were scheduled to deliver 4 new chairs. Low and behold, two of those were bad. This is looking a little better, but still not what we paid for.
Third day comes around and they were bringing us two more chairs. We thought, hey, third time's a charm, right? Wrong! One of the chairs wobbled so bad and the delivery guy tried to bend it. Yes, he was trying to bend wood. He had all his weight bouncing on it and trying to bend with his arms and all of a sudden we hear a "ting" and a screw fell out, so that one was obviously refused. We are so close to being complete now!
And then finally today they dropped off the sixth chair and it was perfect! After all that, we finally have a complete set. Whew! Doesn't it look pretty?

We were not really wanting fabric on the seats, but they are really comfortable. We just ended up putting a towel over Brooklyn's chair to try and keep it clean.
I actually prefer the dark wood, but everything in our house right now is light, so it actually fits in very nice. I am so happy to finally have all the pieces.
This was our first time buying from this particular store, and needless to say, it was not a good first impression! It was a little tempting just to say forget about it and return the whole set after our fiasco, but we really did like it and didn't want to start over. At least they refunded us the $100 delivery fee though. I'm sure they spent more than that in gas making 4 trips to finally get it right!
