Absolutely love the table & chairs!!! It fits perfectly in our small kitchen. I will say using a ratcheting driver with the appropriate bit sped things along greatly after the first chair was put together using the hex wrench that came with it. In the instructions it asks that you do not place screws in the small cross sections in the chairs until after assembly of the back and front legs have been joined. this makes things very frustrating. Inserting the screws into the cross section to hold them steady eliminated a lot of frustration and sped things up exponentially. Also used an electric drill to attach the seats.
