I built this set hours before Thanksgiving!  It’s a beautiful set and perfect fit near our kitchen. It took me about 2 hours to put it together by myself. It was always late at night so for most no more than an hour. 

I’ve had the table now for about 6 months. It does nick easily and I have to tighten the chairs often (probably user error here). Be sure to protect it with nice place mats and keep the tools nearby in case you need to tighten it. Otherwise I’d say it’s a good table and worth the purchase.
