i was immediately attracted to this dining set when saw it online.
again, was worried about assembling part. it was a bit difficult simply b/c of multiple items and lots instructions. but i was able to put them together ( i am a woman weighs less than 120 lbs) .once everything is ready for use, not only they look unique, modern, and fit right into medium size dining area . just for my own taste, i place a " grape " theme runner on top of it, all guests were amazed where this dining set is from. although my brother in law had to use electric drill to tighten up one of the screws after many many nights of dining on them.
therefore i recommend assemble them with electric screw drill.
for someone willing to go outside of traditional dining furniture, this is a great buy, highly recommend it.
