The set came in 3 boxes and having been away for the delivery, I had to transport it from the UPS agent. It just fit in my sedan because of the foldaway rear seats. One of the chairs was tough to assemble, requiring a lot of torque on the Allen key. But the other chair and table were much easier. I did note that the legs of the table and one chair were a little off, so I added a felt pad to the affected legs and it is now more steady. One odd thing is the height of the table cross bar. I think an earlier reviewer mentioned this, but I thought it related to the chair. It's almost impossible to use the table crossbar as a foot rest because it is so low. The chair cross-bar is an okay height (I'm 5'4"), so I'll constrain my use of footrests to the chair. It's a very nice set though - simple in design, attractive and very functional.
