Love this small set! We recently sold our larger home and built a smaller one in preparation for our retirement years, and we needed a dinette set to go in our smaller dining area. I’m a 69 year old woman and I put this set together all by myself, and with no problem at all! The set arrived, sooner than expected, via FedEx, in 4 boxes. One box for the table top, 2 boxes that each had 2 chairs, and the smallest box contained the base to table. Everything was packaged securely to protect all pieces. Instructions were precise and all hardware and tools were enclosed. Like some of the reviews I read, this set is not white, but more of a cream, which I love. Over the years, we have ordered many things that needed assembly, but I was a little hesitant of ordering a dinette set without seeing in person, and that needed assembly, but I’m so glad I did. The table and chairs are very sturdy. I attached 2 pictures of the dinette set, showing the 2 different ways you can place chairs at the base, when not in use, so that you can see how much space the set takes up.
