Set up was very easy.  I really like it but only gave it three stars because more than half of the pieces were scratched or had patches were the paint had chipped off.  I didn't contact the seller because I had read the reviews and the seller's post that they don't send out replacement pieces-you need to send the whole thing back to get a replacement.  I didn't think it was worth the hassle and  I felt there would still be some damage on the new one.
