I received my table yesterday in a flat box and thought Oh No, this is going to be a project to put together. I am a widow with limited mechanical skills, but much to my surprise, it was extremely easy to put together. Only 4 screws and the wrench to put it together was included. It took me about 10 minutes to assemble it and set it on the porch between to new chairs. It was a snap! The table is lovely and sturdy just what I needed.
