The reason why I stated it was easy to assemble is because I paid to have a professional put it together. It took him 2+ hours to put together so I would definitely suggest if you are not handy, hire someone to do it. I am not really pleased with the patio set. I guess you get what you pay for. It is extremely flimsy, slides all over the patio, separates and just doesnt seem to be very well put together. It does look very nice and the cushions do pretty well when rain hits them. I would suggest buying some type of outdoor Scotchgard just to protect the cushions from rain, sun, and fading. Not that this was an issue I was just trying to prevent it from happening. Overall the next time I invest in any type of patio furniture Im going to spend the extra dollars and get something very nice. I think a three star is a fair rating for this patio furniture.
