Some of the other comments posted here made me apprehensive but I decided to take the chance. I am glad that I did. The assembly was not difficult at all. This is a solid piece of furniture that looks great outside. I love it!

Beautiful, heavy duty bistro set. Very nice and elegant. Putting it together, though, the holes were either out of alignment or non-existent. My husband was able to make it work just fine, but if you have difficulty with construction, you may have difficulty with this set.

The furniture is beautiful but the issue is the assembly. Attempting to assemble all the parts can become a nightmare as the parts are Allen key screws which seem to be the worst if each section is not perfectly aligned becomes a nightmare. Professional assembly cost too much and should be a part of the package nothing should ever be this type of horrific experience. The seller should have most pieces together so the buyer can have some triumph or happiness over building these items!!! Nothing is perfect but when I pay my money to buy something the parts should definitely be aligned and ready to go not me trying to figure out different maneuvers because nothing fits!!!
