This is a very beautiful, and sturdy, dining room set. It was super easy to put together. The manufacture made it very easy by keeping each of the parts together for each item. Each chair, and bend, had a separately attached screws that already had their washers attached. The same-sized screws were all rubberbanded together. You didn't need to worry about losing a part. Additionally, every part bag came with its own allen wrench. Again, you didn't need to worry if you misplaced the one provided, because this set up came with 6!  While the manufacturer suggests two people should assemble, as a 130lb woman, I was able to assemble completely. I only asked my husband to help me remove the tabletop from the box. If he wasn't home, I could have simply cut open the box and removed myself. All in all, we are beyond pleased with our purchase and think you will be, too!
