This table was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect kitchen work space. Assembly wasn’t too bad. I’m sure 2 people would have been easier but some tips for us singles. Remember, don’t tighten anything until piece is fully assembled. Do chairs first. I found this in another review. Use a table or counter to assemble legs and seat. Once 2 chairs are done use them as workbench. Put table top down first top side down for work space. Then follow instructions for table assembly. Took me maybe 2.5 hours on my own. My only complaint was the seat stabilization bars were buried in the middle of a bunch of similar table parts. Almost missed them completely.
