I wanted a table outside for my staff to eat at during the pandemic. My husband and I put it together in a little less than 2 hours. It was a little bit challenging for us, but credit to the manufacturer that all the parts were labeled and securely packaged.  Directions were clear, step by step, and we did not have a misstep. Tips: have a rubber mallet and use the head to support the weight of the table against the leg while putting in the long screws, and a flashlight can help you align the holes underneath the table. The bottom line is that this bench/table is gorgeous, sleek and solid. The staff loves the table and so do so many passers by.
