I love how this dining set looks! My apartment is small, so this size and look is ideal so that I can push it again the wall or use it as an island. The side shelves are a cute addition. Assembly was easy it took about 1.5-2 hours to assemble by myself. My only complaint is that the bar stool cushion is attached by screws and it didn’t include a screwdriver. Everything else was easily assembled with the hex key they provided. I also couldn’t get two of the bolts aligned with the hole, but it still stands and supports weight! Overall 5 stars.
