The first two chairs were a bit difficult to put together and when I finished them, one side was 1/4" longer than the other side.  I had to put chair protectors on the legs and it helped but I put those two chairs where they wouldn't be used much.  The other two chairs and the table went together fairly easily and I was doing it by myself.  Table is heavy and chairs are sturdy.  The counter height is perfect for my husband who has had strokes and he doesn't have as much trouble getting up and down as with regular dining chairs.  Would recommend this set for anyone who has limited space.
