Title: price was right
Review: out of the box mine had a few scuffs and gouges from shipping, despite good packaging. nothing i thought it needed to be returned for. the legs of the table attach securely without any modifications. the dowels on the chair needed some gluing for a more solid fit, all of the screws aligned well and did not require anything extra.as for construction, it's made in Thailand, the wood is stained and lightly finished pine, or other soft wood. everything is cut from boards, ie. the angled chair back. it's sturdy, the finish will not withstand heavy use/abuse (on the bright side it will get that 'distressed' look quickly!). I have boys, i didn't want an expensive table knowing it would have to endure them :-), so this table is perfect. in closing, i'm happy with it; it looks nice and if it gets abused it can be easily repaired, sanded, painted or rebuilt.
