For a DIY’er this should be simple to put up, but its worth being really careful, there are a few places where one can make mistakes. Definitely there’s some drilling invoved (1/8” bit would work) and it would be worth drilling at slight angles to make the screws easier to drive. And with all these things, do think hard before leaping in to any stage of it. I very nearly went wrong. The table looks good and robust. The only real disappointment was that the wood hasn’t seasoned properly and there were a few splits in the end grain which will shorten its life. You get what you pay for so no complaints. Worth buying a can of preservative and soaking all end grain, especially the seat legs, for 24 hours.

Waited a number of weeks for this item. Arrived in ripped and torn cardboard packages. Fortunately, all items in these self assembly boxes seem to have miraculously not fallen out. The build was quite straightforward (about 2 hrs single handed) but the soft wood did start to split in places when putting in the screws. Overall, a lot of money for this item which seems very ordinary.

Others have mentioned its best to do step 4 before step 2. The pre drilled holes for the central struts are all on the same alignment so the first set of screws blocks the holes for subsequent ones making it necessary to drill new holes on a different alignment. Visually the end 2 pieces of the table top were not parallel to the central ones on the one I received making it look off. These are nailed on with very flimsy nails so it was possible to cut them at one end and reposition (lifting the table by holding just the top slats is not recommended). It looks fine now and I’m happy with the finished product.

Given tracking number but was unable to track on courier site. Item arrived early. Building of table was ok using the instructions provided. But you do need a power tool to drill some holes and screw together.When completed the table is solid but the seats has not aligned to the table top when it's been built correctly. It's just a bit annoying.

Great table very sturdy no need to drill extra holes as other reviews have stated. Nice and straight forward instructions. I think this will last for many BBQs to come. I have a family of 5 and it will seat us all very comfortably for outdoor dining . But for 8 with food it will be a bit of a squeeze. But 8 with beers will be roomy enough.
