This huge set of patio furniture arrived in less than 48 hours! The USPS can't deliver birthday cards that quickly!! Don't complain about putting it together and the hassle...that's why you get the price you do and once you've taken a nap on it outside in a gentle breeze, you'll forget all about that! Rain just wipes off and dew dries as soon as the sun hits it. This is a fabulous set!!
