Really pleased with the result but did take me several evenings (probably about 5hrs total) to put together as I'm a girl on my own and not very DIY minded.  I nearly have up early on as one of the screws would go in I think due to a defective hole, but persevered and in the end it didn't matter as it was just the one.  All in all, it's a sturdy and good looking set and was worth the time and effort putting together given the price. You get a lot for the money.
