Really nice piece of dining furniture. I found the picture instructions intuitive to follow as long as you studied the diagrams. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that the product arrived in 2 heavy boxes each of which was a 2 man lift. You need a lot of space to open the contents, spread them around and then work out which piece is which from the diagrams. Worth it though! The lighting arrived at the same time and is a great addition to the overall effect.
