This is a great dining set for the price. I was 4mo pregnant at the time and I put this together myself. It probably took an hour or so. Instructions are fairly simple to follow. The table is very heavy but I was able to slide it around and strategically tilt and pivot to get it up. I only had 1 small issue at the very end getting 1 screw into the table top but used a power drill and was able to secure it. The wood isn't the finest hardwood you can buy but it has a nice look and looks really similar to the picture online and everyone's review pictures. It feels very durable and sturdy! I would definitely recommend for small space dining. Perfect for a (soon to be) family of 3.
