If you choose to buy this set, know that you are in for an absolute nightmare. Somewhere I had read that assembly would take 1 hour; its hard to believe anyone could accomplish putting these all together alone in that amount of time. I worked on putting these together for about 3 hours and finally gave up. The tool that comes with this package to turn the screws is terrible. It was stripped before I even finished with step 1. I had to go find a similarly shaped tool left over from a different furniture package to continue putting everything together. It seems like the holes dont align well between pieces / hence the horrible assembly experience. I finally had to just leave one screw off one of the chairs because I just could not get all the screws on the connecting pieces to go in. Product looks nice when done. But, NIGHTMARE experience. I would recommend not buying this set based solely on assembly; however, if putting stuff together is your thing and you have the equipment to adjust screw holes and metal, this furniture may be fine for you.
