While this is a very nice set, it was absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to put together. The screw holes were completely misaligned on the table and several of the chairs. Because of that, it took almost five hours to set up. We've put together all of our furniture and never seen anything like this. It's as if they haphazardly screwed each hole in, with no care if the holes would line up. Since we are pretty handy, we made it work, having to readjust some of the holes and screws. And it all has to be done with an alan key at difficult angles. So we couldn't use our drill. Set up was a complete nightmare. We almost decided to return it but were so deep in the set up, decided to just fix it ourselves. We bought this on sale and now I know why. Seems like this was a set with imperfection and instead of remaking it, just sold at a lower price. It's unfortunate because it really is a nice set. But save your fingers and your mind but passing on this one.
