I always read reviews before making a purchase and was excited about this one. The table is beautiful I had no problems. The chairs on the other hand. First let me say they are also beautiful Chairs HOWEVER  for me the assembly is horrible.  First of all, some legs are longer thasan the others causing a wobbly chair. Next, if you do not have a POWERFUL  drill and a STRONG arm it may be difficult getting some of the screws in. Even after trying numerous times some of the wood on the Chairs split because of the force we had to try and use to get the screws in as much as possible.  Not sure if others faced these same challenges but i am VERY SAD AND DISAPPOINTED  as I was looking forward to seeing this beautiful set in my kitchen!
