It is a beautiful set. Chair assembly isn't too bad once you get through the first two & know what to do. Table was very easy. I do agree with another reviewer that the screws sent for the bottom of the chair were too long. I had two screws go through to the other side when I was assembling my first chair so I had to stop until I could get to the store to get shorter wood screws. This didn't happen on the back legs of the chair, only the front legs. I also worried about the tabletop & having 3 kids so I purchased a glass top for my table from a local glass shop for $80.
