Ordered this set on November 20th.  Arrived on November 29th.  The delivery men, Emmanuel and Johnny brought the box to my apartment building and up the stairs to my door.  They were very courteous and helpful.  The table itself is very beautiful and study.  The chairs are comfortable and it fits our space like a glove.  My husband and cousin assembled the set and it took them maybe 45min to an hour.  PLEASE use a drill.  Before I purchase anything, I THOROUGHLY read the reviews.  And YES, a drill is needed.  It helped tremendously with the assembling the chairs and table.  This a great buy for the Price!
