The set is very nice looking and sturdy once it is put together.  However, the assembly was extremely challenging and the directions were very limited.  The holes did not line up correctly when trying to screw the pieces together.  Two of the bolts were almost impossible to put in.  It would have been helpful if a few of the shorter bolts were the longer bolts but still would have been very hard to put together.  The amount of time it took to put all pieces together makes the set not worth it. Would not purchase an item like this again.
