A little shorter than I expected, but still very comfortable.  The hardware is separated into three sets.  Eight bolts/washers and an Allen wrench for the table.  The chairs each have ten bolts/washers and an Allen wrench.  So, a total of 28 bolts/washers and three Allen wrenches.  No other tools necessary.  I had no issues with the table, but the chairs I had one stubborn bolt on each chair.  When assembling the chairs, leave the first four bolts halfway threaded.  You will need the extra "play" when attaching the seat to the arms/back of the chair.
