Grade: B+
In terms of design and overall prettiness, I'd give it an A. I love this set and wish I still owned it. I like that it folds down so it can be stored relatively easily.
In terms of fragility, though, it's more like a B-. I've shipped two of them over the course of my collecting and it has been very difficult to do. The legs on the table seem rather delicate and are set in place with glued in wooden dowels that seem to come loose when shipped or if the room gets too cold (had that happen in a mountain cabin). It's not that hard to put more glue in and fix it, but I wish it just didn't do that.
