Great dining room set! Easy to assemble - if you pay close attention, some of the illustrations and descriptions are confusing, and some of the parts are labeled incorrectly - but, its not rocket science.  (Easier than most kit furniture instructions, thats for sure!)  When completed Very stable, strong, and looks to be very durable.  Its a perfect fit for our dining nook!  I totally recommend this set!  Great quality and value, and looks great, too!!
