I finally assembled this set today, after over a week of procrastinating. I had opened the box and felt like assembly was going to be completely overwhelming, as there were so many pieces. This afternoon, I finally pulled out the instruction sheet, which is printed on one page, and very clear. I realized right away that like pieces were all wrapped together, making assembly go very smoothly.
There is nothing complex involved in assembly. It's all very simple. My one suggestion would be to use a power drill. I can't imagine trying to drive all the bolts with the included allen wrenches. With a power driver, it's just a couple hour job, at most. I put all the chairs/stools together first, since it was just repetition, then did the table.
All the pieces are surprisingly sturdy and strong. Obviously, the seats are just hard surfaces, with no backs, so I wouldn't want to hang out in them for extended periods. Even so, it's comfortable enough to sit at for a meal or game.
For the cost, it's a really nice deal for someone starting out. I ordered this for my son's home, as he needed a small set for a small space, and won't be having any extended family meals using it. It's perfect for his situation, and looks really nice in his eat in kitchen.
Cute Set
