I ordered this set after comparing it to several others and reading other reviews. BTW.Thank You to those who wrote in. I felt much more prepared for assembly. The final decision was made because of the cushions being almost 5. I received delivery today and couldnt wait to tackle this project. I love constructing things so I dove right in. I unpacked each box in order and began placing pieces in groups for each section. I then went through the hardware and verified I had everything as indicated on the instruction booklet (came with a few extras too)! The instructions seemed minimal but not too difficult to grasp so I got to work. It took my, all by my big girl self, about 2.5 hours start to finish and although Im tired I am very pleased with the end result. I do agree that using power tools would have been much faster but all in all I enjoyed this project. Ive not completely unwrapped the cushions or glass table top as Im still deciding on actual arrangement but I did feel the fabric and Im also pleased with how durable it feels. The cushions are definitely firm so they should last quite a while. I definitely recommend this set to anyone looking for patio furniture. Now time to shop for a new rug.
