This set is so beautiful & I love the color. There was no installation involved. It was as easy as taking it out of the box & placing it on my porch. The only issue is its paint. Quality control is definitely missing. I had seen this issue with other reviews as well but I went ahead & ordered it anyways. I’m not 100% disappointed but if someone pays close attention they would see the defected areas. If you are very picky then you may want to go with other brands/options.
