Assembly. Just awkward to say the least. Im pretty handy and don't typically take the time that it took me to get this done. Sturdy, yes. Comfortable, ehh. I wish the back cushions were as firm as the seat cushions. It doesn't repel water as well as my other outdoor furniture that we have. I mean don't get me wrong I know it's not water proof, but the material doesn't bead the water up as well as other materials. It does dry rather quickly though. I dont hate it, but don't love it either. I would find a different set for the price.The furniture was easy to assemble and I was able to do it myself. It’s sturdy and looks nice but the cushions leave a lot to be desired. They are not great quality and had to be replaced after a few months and cost half the price of the furniture itself and only because I was able ti get them on clearance or it would have cost the same as the entire set.Overall, the product was worth the money. It is fairly sturdy and comfortable, not too difficult to assemble, and looks nice. Not top end quality, but certainly much better than a lot of products. For the price, this is a good choice.I’m a 60 female and was able to assemble the set on my own without too much difficulty. Only complaint was that the rear leg piece was broken upon arrival but a little gorilla glue did the trick.The set is very nice for the money. The beige is almost a cream color so definitely suggest getting covers for when not in use. The glass for the coffee table was 1/4” too big. Contacted the seller who issued us a credit so we could get it adjustedI really like the furniture but I found a very inconvenient problem. When I went to clean the cushion covers what I found was pretty shocking. When I took the cover off the cushions there were an unbelievable amount of loose threads! I mean over a hundred! I cut them all off and I thought that was it. Then after washing the covers there was another bundle of threads! I took pics. About a 45 minute hassle. BEWARE. Still nice furniture. I'll give it 4 stars.This set was NOT easy to assemble. The manufacturer supplies a tiny Allen key to tighten the assembly bolts, it's too small to do the job easily. And the rattan webbing on the lower leg of one of the chairs was broken and started to unravel. I never got a response from Amazon, nor could I find a customer service number to call. So I put tape on the damaged part and assembled the set. Once put together, the set seems sturdy, and is attractive. Having said that, I will never place a major online order from Amazon again. Buying locally, you can always return an item if there's a problem. But if you need to contact someone at Amazon, you will have better luck contacting the former CEO in orbit around the Earth.Hardware was not packaged— screws just loose in the box. 20 of expected 29 washers were missing. Otherwise it was easy to assemble, is comfortable and looks great!
