Great set, easy to assemble but does take a little time (set aside about 1 to 2 hours). Easier with 2 people if just for holding pieces while screwing together. Very sturdy once built, has held up well seating a variety of people. Cushions are a little thin, but still comfortable. We bought plastic covers for the couch & chairs  just to keep the dirt off the light colored cushions. Would buy again.
