Good quality, great price., December 23, 2005
This review is from: Coaster Tamiami 3 Piece Bistro Dining Set in Natural Oak
This table and chair set is very good quality, especially for such a low price. The table is the perfect height, and the curved back of the chairs comfortably cradles my back when sitting. The elegant shape looks lovely without overwhelming the space and is compact enough to fit in a small apartment. The wood is a rich brown-red and the metal legs seem to be black powder-coated. One complaint is that I wish the chair legs had a rubber or plastic foot to avoid scratching my wood floor when they are moved. The table was very easy to assemble, with helpful markings on the wood showing where the legs should attach. The chairs did not have these markings and would have been much easier to assemble if there had been at least a tiny, pre-drilled pinpoint hole showing where the screws attach. After the metal legs were assembled, I found the best angle to attach the wood seat was lying on my back under the chair (like a car mechanic). Even so, I am very happy with this furniture.

Attractive bistro set at modest price, February 27, 2008
This review is from: Coaster Tamiami 3 Piece Bistro Dining Set in Natural Oak
We recently purchased online the 3-piece bistro dining set (table, two chairs) for the breakfast nook in our kitchen. The set is simply but attractively designed in black matte metal and wood. It goes well with traditional and contemporary decor. The table has a sturdy hardwood top supported by a metal stand whose legs can be adjusted for stability. The chairs are sturdy and comfortable. We were pleased with the appearance and quality of the product.
Purchasers should be aware that the set is delivered unassembled. Parts are tightly packed in an extremely light-weight styrofoam that easily breaks apart and leaves small foam particles scattered and clinging about the room.
The metal parts of table and chairs first need to be connected and secured. This is a somewhat tedious but not difficult process, and the instructions are clear. The respective metal frames, however, then need to be fastened to the undersides of the wooden table top and chair seats with small screws that are provided. Because the manufacturer provides no guide holes in the wood, this step in the assembly needs to be done with some care. Attaching the screws into the hard wood also requires elbow grease. The head of one of the chair screws broke off in the attempt to tighten it. People who lack basic tool skills may find the assembly process frustrating and want to have someone assemble the set for them.
Felt pads for table and chair legs need to be purchased separately.
Aside from these inconveniences, the finished product looks great, and we've been enjoying it for breakfast and small meals.

I just confirmed with Coaster that this set does NOT come with predrilled holes and the wood is very hard - so be prepared with an electric drill - or a very strong pair of hands
