Very simple to assemble with the exception of the table.  For some reason I had difficulties screwing one bolt in the table.  However, since it's a small table and I won't be placing heavy on it, it didn't really matter so I didn't use all the bolts.  It's a beautiful, comfortable set for a very reasonable price and my wife's friends have given her many positive comments.  I would definitely recommend this product for anyone looking for nice patio set for a smaller space.
