Husband, who is a handy man, put this together in about an hour or so. It was easier to put together than other products we have bought. Pastels are adorable. Warning: never have children lay the chairs on their backs and accidentally step on the back rest. It shifts back and breaks part of the biscuits. Chips reveal particle board. To be expected as my kids didn't use it properly. Just a warning. This is a great set for little kids. I would say 6 and older won't fit very well unless you have petite children. Regardless, it is a great and sturdy set.
