Make sure you have a good drill. This set was very hard to put together as the pre drilled holes were not large enough to accomodate the screws. You need quite a lot of time as well because the allen wrench that comes with each piece is a very tedious way to put something together. The table legs are not planed evenly so, the side table wobbles. It looks OK now that it has been assembled but, really disappointed about the table. We don't own a tool that could even begin to level the legs. Very sturdy but, might be worth paying to receive this set assembled.
