Delivery did take a long time, but this was out of The Nine School's control and I was made aware when I ordered the items that there were going to be significant delay (I ordered in February 2021 and didn't receive entirety of order until June 2021). Still, at every stage The Nine Schools offered me a full refund or asked if I was ok to wait. I am so pleased I waited as the furniture is SO nice, I wouldn't have found anything nicer without paying so much more. The quality is fantastic and it all looks amazing in my living room. I bought one coffee table, one side board, one end table and two ginger jars and I couldn't be happier with any of it, its completely exceeded my expectations. Packaged very well, arrived with no marks. I would say the furniture does scratch easily, but just make sure anything you place on it has protective feet on it and use coasters! So happy, thank you very much.
