I am in the UK and arranged for this to be shipped to a friend in the USA and then sent on to the UK.  It was delivered in the USA ahead of the estimated time, the packaging withstood all of that travel, and the chairs are perfect.  One need a slight adjustment to make it level but this was done without the need for any other tools or equipment, just adjusting the way it was tightened up.  The cushions are lovely and it was well worth having the chairs shipped over and paying the import fees. It was easy to assemble. Just need a new table now.
