Linon Brown 3-Piece Table Faux Marble Tavern Set, 42" w x 22.25" d x 36" h

Got the set this past weekend and I can see why some have described the assembly instructions as lacking. We really do like the set, having placed it in our solarium so we can sip and snack while watching birds at the feeders on our deck. Here is what I'd recommend for putting this set together. Taken step by step, its easier than it looks.ASSEMBLY STEPS:1) TABLE: Start with the table. It uses 3 well-marked pieces of hardware (A, D & E) for attaching the 4 legs. A short dowel at the top of each leg fits into a whole on the underside of each table corner. This part is very easy. Just follow the diagram where it shows how to arrange the washers and screws. The table can then be used to assemble the stools, but put a towel on it to protect the finish.2) STOOL ONE: Lay one of the two stool legs (#4) down flat. Add a squarish wooden cross piece (#5) where a short dowel from it will fit into a matching hole near the top of the leg.3) HERE'S THE TRICKY PART: Push the metal piece (F) into the only small hole on the side of wooden piece #4. Be careful to line up the hole with the hole coming in from the edge of the wooden piece. You'll see what I mean. Also keep the edge of the metal piece that has a Phillips head facing out so you can use it to twist it if needed. If the long screw (B) doesn't go into that hole, you can use a Phillips screwdriver to twist the metal piece into alignment.4) After securing the wooden piece at one end, use the screws (C) to secure two of the long metal cross pieces (#6) to the same table leg. The metal pieces push into the only holes big enough to accommodate them.5) Next attach the other leg (#4) to those wood and metal cross pieces to complete the bottom of the stool.6) STOOL TWO. Steps 2-5 above.7) ADDING THE CUSHIONS: Place the stool bottoms on their feet and wedge the nice cushions into the tops between the corners of the stool legs. They almost drop in but gets a bit tight. Push the corners in and down until they make contact with the wooden cross pieces you installed in step 2.8) Turn the stools upside down and rest on the cushions. Drop the pointed wood screws (G) into the four holes (2 in each wooden cross piece). With some force at first, push and twist the screws in with a Phillips head. After you get some bite you don't have to push so hard. It will pull itself in and securely tighten itself to the bottom of the stool.9) The little wooden buttons (H) you're wondering about get tapped into the holes along the legs where the screws (C) were used. Some will fall out when moving the stool. When one falls out I put a tiny drop of Elmer's glue on it to keep that from happening. I only use a drop in case I need to pop it out and tighten the screw underneath one day.This sounds complicated, but if you take it one step at a time it's kind of fun. I was completely lost at first, but after figuring it out, I actually enjoyed the process. Just keep a close watch on each screw and washer. Count them BEFORE opening the clear plastic to make sure you started with the number needed. Only open each as you need them. They are easy to misplace.One note about the table top. Another reviewer mentioned a small dent or nick in an edge of the table top. Ours has a small blemish, too. It doesn't stand out though. In spite of that, I'm glad to have this set, as it looks nice, is sturdy and is a good value for the price. The soft leather of the cushions looks and feels of good quality, and is comfortable. I would whole-heartily recommend this set.

I'm very pleased with this set, easy to assemble, very nice finish, it was delivered 2 days earlier than promised and the prize is unbeatable! I highly recommend it!

Ordered two sets of these, and assembled them yesterday. One is for a 400 sq ft studio apartment, which required a small footprint. The other is for a garden potting station. The stools nest underneath the table nicely which makes them perfect for a small space. The height is perfect for using as a potting station, and is a way more affordable option than we found elsewhere.The assembly is relatively quick, and only requires a phillips head screwdriver, and allen wrench (several provided in the packaging). The hardware comes in 3 clear plastic bags (1 for the table, 1 for the chairs, and 1 for the wood cap screw covers on the chairs), and is taped to the box in a red plastic bag, so it could get thrown away accidentally if you aren't careful (maybe why some reviewers complained of missing hardware pieces?). I used wood glue to reinforce the table legs & stool legs, which may or may not be necessary depending on how heavy of use you are planning/how often you plan to move them.They look very nice, and are sturdy when assembled. For the price, they are an exceptional deal (assuming they hold up), but there are some minor flaws (definitely not worth returning, but did take away 1 star).CONS:1. The finish on each of the table tops had MINOR flaws (1/4" or smaller split in the finish on the table top). It looked like there was bubble in the laminate surface that was cut with a razor knife, leaving a small gouge in the table top.2. One of the table tops did not get entirely covered with stain, so there was a small strip of unpainted wood showing. Again, not a big defect, but because of the dark color it does catch your eye quite a bit. Easy to fix with stain & a paintbrush, but an extra assembly step & more stuff to have to buy if you don't have the right color lying around.3. As always, the hardware included is not great. We did have the correct quantity of everything (no extras). The bolts and washers included are fine, but you might want to swap the screws that attach the seat cushion to the stool frame. I was using an electric drill on the first stool and had a screw break in half inside the stool.4. The cushions are very firm, but might soften as they get more use. Hopefully the firmness will translate into them lasting longer.PROS:1. Looks way more expensive than $100. The stools are very nice looking & have attractive detail stitching on the seat cushions. Honestly, the stools look like they would be $100 for the pair.2. Very sturdy for flat-packed furniture. The stools had a sticker stating that they hold a max weight of 275 lbs. We haven't tested the weight limit, but did have someone that weighed 150 lbs wiggle around and try to get them to creak/shift/break apart. They were VERY stable even before the glue set up.3. Can be used as a nesting table with the stools underneath, or split apart. One of our sets is split apart, with the stools being used at a breakfast island in the kitchen, and the table in our sun room. The table and chairs are each nice enough to stand alone. The bar would make a great entry-way table or even an indoor or outdoor bar.4. Easy to assemble. After the first stool, I realized it was much easier to assemble them on their sides & the other 3 stools were a breeze. For the table, you just have to attach the legs using bolts and washers.We plan to order at least 2 more sets (one for a gift for a family member with a small apartment, and another for a rental apartment). Hopefully they hold up to everyday use and being moved around occasionally.

Great table and chair set. Arrived a day sooner and with the kindest delivery people. They followed the directions in the delivery notes I entered in the Amazon app even! And helped carry it up (seems heavier than listed). The table is gorgeous, plenty spacious (see pics) for two to dine at, and sturdy. Two leg screws didn’t go in fully but table is sturdy. The chairs were perfectly sturdy, didn’t wobble (my fear from other reviews), and sat evenly on the floor. The top of the table is very hard, much like true stone. The table and chairs are white but light is low in room so may appear off-white. Excellent purchase. Very pleased.

Seems to be of good quality and a great value for the price. I recommend it easy assembly, comfortable stools.

Los orificios son más pequeños que los tubos

Not worth the price. Damaged table top. Small stool part was fixed and packed. Seating stools are not sturdy at all. I had to keep it as no time to buy other before guests are arriving. Do not recommend to buy. Buy if they list for CAD 100$

Great little side table. Had it for about 6 months now. Zero issues. Very easy to assemble. Stools are very stable and comfortable.

They are right in the reviewsIt is not steadyAll times the parts dispatched from each other

Very happy with this product - made in Vietnam and high quality. Look and feel are great and good value for money. Perfect for a 1 bed condo.
