Great set.  No assembly required for the chairs except for the swivel ones which you have to attach to the base.  Very easy.  Table is beautiful and legs need to be attached. Table top is heavy!  The chairs in general are light and easy to move about.  Not a heavy cast aluminum set and nice looking.  The cast designs are not perfect.  You see some reminiscent of the casting on the edges of the designs that are bumpy/sharp, edgy. Some joint areas are not perfect either, hence the 4 star instead of 5 stars.
