The set looks fantastic for the price once set up. The instructions are a small 2 page pamphlet. It wasn't hard to follow. The main issue was the holes wouldn't line up, but with two people pulling and adjusting the pieces, it worked. The two chairs were a tiny bit wobbly, but once we at in them, they were better. Great deal. However, if you're looking for luxury, you'll need to pay more then $250! :)
