The only reason I'm giving it 4 starts instead of 5 is because it does not come with the all the tools needed to assemble the set-- it only provides an Allen wrench.  You need a 3/8 in. wrench (ideally a 3/8 in. combination wrench) for 95% of the assembly.  If you have the proper tools assembly would take less than 10 minutes...  

Overall, beautiful dining set-- very sturdy.
