All the great reviews I read before purchasing are true.  I am 70 yeas old and found this very easy to assemble.  Instructions are easy to read, everything lines up perfectly for assembly and all hardware was included.  I was surprised that there wasn't as much to assemble as I thought.  Only need to put  on the table legs and the legs on the chairs.  The backs and the seat are already put together.   Impressed with how well it was packaged.  Came in heavy cardboard boxes with sheets of Styrofoam on all sides, & furniture as also wrapped.  Very please with the high quality of this kitchen set.  Perfect for my small kitchen.
