I was reluctant to make such a large purchase over the internet.....especially without ever sitting on it. Given that we had a customized order it was a bit of a wait time--little longer than 6 wks. I must say the set is beautiful. Nice clean look, and has gotten tons of compliments.....Seems to be well built/and good quality.....would have giving it a 5 but I was a little dissapointed in the shipping time.
