The set is beautiful, but it was challenging to put together solo. Plan for at least 2 hours. 
As far as the directions go, they were very basic. After putting the stools together, I tested one out and found out the hard way that the extra support leg in the middle has a special twist bob to adjust to the length of the other legs. (The stool tipped and I fell) problem fixed though... chairs are balanced and comfy! 
Second task was the table- definitely need two people to make it easier and efficient. 
Everything is put together and looks great in our kitchen. But the table itself is not the sturdiest, it does have a slight give you it when pushed. 
Overall I love the piece, but just wanted to educate anyone else leaning towards  buying it. If cost wasn’t a factor I would have gone with the other brand that was slightly 
bigger and perhaps more sturdy. But for the price I paid I am content.
