First, I got it way sooner than expected....I built it before the estimated deliver window!
- well packaged
- get yourself a drink and some music
- Im a 35 yo woman, who doesnt mind building and getting sweaty. I did it myself in a couple of hours with many breaks to check on my 6 yo watching TV behind me.
- everything came in labeled and pretty easy to put together. A little tiddious bc I didnt want to wait for my hubby w a drill bit....so I did everything by hand!
- you must tighten simultaneously OR THEY WONT LINE UP! my dad is a carpenter and I always remembered growing up not to tighten the first screw all the way until you put them all in and tighten little by little. Thats probably why some reviews complained they didnt line up.
- the frame seems pretty sturdy, ill keep you posted during my use.
- it is pretty light so the ottoman moves around a bit...but wicker is light anyway....I have it over a rug and it still moves around a bit.
- the cushions are pretty comfy for the price. I dont think k I can ask for more. I will be keeping them in the garage when not in use but they are under a pargola..
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR FOR THE TIME BEING.
Im renting and would like a grey wicker instead of brown but it is what it is...this will end up being my secondary outdoor furniture by the pool until I get what I really want . But this is perfect!
Please read my first review after building!
