This set looks lovely in our sunroom and is surprisingly comfortable (took a few days for cushions to be 'broken in').  It took my husband about 90 minutes to put together and he said it was fairly simple.  I am slightly disappointed though in how small the set truly is - other reviewers have commented that it seems almost made for children and I'd have to agree. I'm average height and can sit fairly comfortably, but my husband is 6'3" and looks like a giant sitting in the chair or on the love seat.
