Assembly was easy and took me about an hour.  The cushions are adequate, but not plush.  And the bottom cushions strap to the seat.  I wish the upper cushions also strapped to the back support.  And, I prefer a lumbar pillow when I sit outside.  I have not treated the wood with  any oil, yet. It is a nice set for the money.  I do not expect this set to last for years and years.  But, it is a great starter set and has a simple minimal look.
