Assembly was pretty easy.  I did it by myself, assembling the whole five piece set took about an hour.  The quality, is just okay.  On two of the chairs there are gaps where the seat material meets the chrome handle on the seat backs.   The table top is especially unimpressive and seems a bit cheap.  The set looks very nice in my breakfast room, where it really will get little use.  But upon closer examination it seems a bit cheap.  I guess it isn't bad for the price...
