The furniture represented a good value, although assembly of the many parts take time.  Frankly, the assembly instructions were a bit overdone, and after the first two steps of assembly, I just went on my own.  A simple message before the assembly instructions stating that you should use the long screws for the chairs, and the short screws for the table base support, would suffice, along with an emphasis NOT to tighten the screws all the way, until all screws have been inserted. I used my battery powered screw gun to tighten all of the partially inserted screws which did save some time.
