Some of the wicker strands were loose but it didn't take much to fix with a little Gorilla Glue. The assembly instructions were easy to follow and all the hardware was included along with hex wrenches. My recommendation for the manufacturer. Charge an extra $5 and include a ratchet-style hex wrench, please. Trying to tighten the bolts down was a frustrating experience due to only being able to do a quarter turn at a time. Okay, enough complaints. Once assembled, the furniture set looks beautiful and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
