is the assembling process very long and tough?

yes, its a bit of a problem to setup the chairs, as there are no premarked holes for settting up the cushion in the chair, if you have an electric drill/screwdriver it should be ok, else its a bit tough

It took a while but it wasn't hard. Directions and all necessary pieces are provided. It does take two people when it comes to setting the glass top on.

Took me about 30 minutes. It's pretty simple and the instructions are decent.

I think an hour at most. That is probably a really high estimate. It was straight forward to assemble

Quite a lot of pieces. It took me 3 plus hours. One of the more complicated assemblies I have done.

The parts are packaged in a very organized fashion. It took my daughter and I about 3 hours, but it wasn't hard at all to assemble. I was being overly cautious. Hope this helps.

Additionally give yourself lots of time to assemble, as in do it now. I had to reorder several parts that were damaged. Took me a total of 7 or 8 hours to put together. Not for the faint of heart.

By myself it took 3-4 hours.... Tons and tons of tiny pieces and panels to clip together, but the directions weren't hard to follow at all and once together it's very sturdy

As the others have indicated, it's not hard to assemble, it's just that the set is in many pieces (58 or so) and the assembly is in 43 steps, so you're going to need at least 3-4 hours set aside. But each item is well numbered and easy to identify. The screws, nuts and bolts come in a package that is separated into letter codes so you can open up the parts you'll need to use when you are ready. The instructions are visual with very little wording (if any). It's best to have a very large work area to layout all the parts, this will make it easier to assemble. I assembled mine early Christmas morning at 12:30 AM and I was done at about 3:30-4:00 AM. :-) As the others have indicated, it's not hard to assemble, it's just that the set is in many pieces (58 or so) and the assembly is in 43 steps, so you're going to need at least 3-4 hours set aside.

It depends on your abilities. I had this sent to my father's house before a long RV weekend trip and he put it together in an hour (stickers and all). He isn't the most mechanically inclined so I'm sure it isn't hard at all. Just make sure to follow the directions to the letter, step by step.

The assembly is tedious, but not difficult. Expect to take about 45-60 minutes.

The box is heavy and big, but i cant remember how heavy. We took the pieces out of the box and carried them upstairs to put it together. It is not that hard to put together, but there are many parts. If you take your time so you get it right the first time, allocate 2-3 hours if you are doing it alone and are only using the little manual wrench they give you. It is easier to put together if you have 2 people, but you only need the second person for a very small part of the assembly. If you can balance one of the ends against something while assembling, you can do it yourself.

No, you have to assemble. It is not hard as long as you have proper tools and follow instructions.

Assembly instructions are very clear and detailed and as long as you follow the steps exactly you can assemble this in about 3 hours give or take. The key t the whole process is to follow the instruction step by step otherwise you'll end up taking things apart.

No. It took me about 2 hours to assemble but I took it slow. It was easy, easier than most of the IKEA furniture I had experience with.

No, you either put it together or have someone you know put it together. I'm very good putting stuff together and this took me about 4 hours.

It's everything needed to assemble. It took me about half hour start to finish.

No, it took me about an hour to put it together, but i took my time. I'm sure it could be done more quickly.

It took me about 2 hours. The directions weren't too hard to follow, but i made a mistake in assembly when first starting, so had to start from square one at one point
