I was very happy with the quality of the set overall. It is Chinese cedar and many boards were cupped and bowed, so just be careful during installation to overcome that. The instruction manual was highly detailed and made installation a breeze. You will need table saw, oscillating saw and sander to make minor modifications to some deck boards and others. Took me 2 1/2 full days to assemble by myself. Advice: Organize all boards alphabetically and numerical and lay all bolts, screws and lags out low to high value to speed installation.
