Home Styles 5168-318 5-Piece Dining Set, Black and Cottage Oak Finish
This dining set includes a round pedestal dining table and four side chairs. Table is constructed of a solid hardwood in a black and cottage oak finish. The decoratively shaped pedestal base and cottage oak finished top captures the cottage design with a nicely contrasting black finished base and top apron for a refreshing appeal. Chair is constructed of a solid hardwood in a black and cottage oak finish with cross back design and contoured seat in our cottage oak finish. A clear coat finish helps to guard against wear from normal use. Easy to assemble. Table measures 42-inch width by 42-inch depth by 30-inch height. Chair measures 19-1/4-inch width by 22-1/2-inch depth by 38-1/2-inch height.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Defective
I love the look of this table set. It goes great in my little house. I purchased this set from Cymax without problems. It was sent quickly and undamaged.

After I bought this set the top began to warp and there were small cracks visible in the table. I contacted Home Styles, the manufacturer, with my problem. The customer service person requested pictures but as soon as she saw them she immediately had the warehouse ship me a brand new top free of charge and told me to discard the old top.

HOWEVER, this new top is again warping. I contacted Home Styles customer service again, sent them pictures of the top and received a reply that it was due to lack of moisture in the air. Well, lack of moisture should NOT cause a table to warp like this. Then the customer service manager, who I requested to talk with, then said it was because there is TOO MUCH moisture in the air. I LIVE IN COLORADO! It is dry here! Besides, a well built table should not warp...tables are built...

looks good, sturdy, NOT scratch resistant
This set is a very good value for the money: 1) it is solid wood, which is hard to find at this price point; 2) it is easy to assemble in an hour or two (half of the time is spent unpacking the pieces); 3) it looks really nice; and 4) it is very sturdy.

The downside: the chair seats and table top scratch very easily. Fortunately, I had the forethought to put some additional polyurethane on the table top knowing that it would take a beating. However, I did not put it on the chairs. Within days, they had scratches on them.

I DO recommend this set for the value, but I also highly recommend buying a can of the spray-on polyurethane at your hardware store and spraying a couple coats on the tabletop and seats.
Mostly good... some bad.
GOOD: Packaging was solid, lots of styrofoam and rigid cardboard. BAD: However, one BIG complaint with the packaging: Industrial staples throughout the bottom of the tabletop, holding straps in place for shipping. I had to use pliers to pull them out one at a time... I think there were 3 dozen... BIG pain the butt. GOOD: As for the table itself, it's fairly heavy and solid... beautiful, too. Good height and diameter... our family of 4 fits comfortably. BAD: The table top scratches easily. GOOD: Assembly was simple... about an hour by myself.
