I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like this set. It is a great value for the price.  For the most part it was pretty easy to set up, but a powered screwdriver would be best. The reason for the four star is that my hubby had to a little carpentry work on the two pieces of wood that serve as support for the table top. One of the slots was not cut wide enough. If he didn't have access to a power saw that might have been a little more frustrating.
