This is a nice set perfect for my deck space. It provides up to 6 seating which is great for having companies. the extra storage space is a good idea but I have yet to try to store the cushions and pillows in there yet. Many reviews mentioned that assembling is difficult. I'd tend to agree that the instruction was vague especially the descriptions of the parts and the assembling steps (many pieces in the drawings look the same to me?!). I'd recommend that you take all the pieces out of packages and lay them out to figure out which pieces go together first, before you start. Once you know which piece goes with which one, it is pretty straightforward. It took me a couple of hours to get it together (I am a 5'3 woman!).
