The assembly instructions were incorrect (or parts were mislabeled).  The screws were too long for the front side of the leg brace and popped through the front of the leg when screwed in all the way. Leg braces were not always square and flush after assembly (not fine craftsmen's quality), but the product appears very sturdy and stable. I wish I had access to a drill for installing the brackets for the seat assembly. Overall, I am satisfied with the value and cost of the table and chairs.  It is perfect for me needs.
