This dining set is PERFECT for my little kitchen! It is exactly as pictured. The wood table tops and seats are not real wood, duh...it's a $125 dining set! The metal is powder coated. The chairs are sturdy enough but if you are maybe 250 lb+ you might want to skip this set. Please keep in mind the price point so you know what you are getting...I'll post a picture in a week or so, once I have the dining area all set up so you have a better idea of my space. The package came undamaged, VERY well packed. No missing parts. I've noticed people say there are no pilot holes for the table top but mine did have ONE, which was all I needed to center top to the base. I'm very happy with this set, the price was perfect for what you get.
