Very little assembly acquired and fantastic-looking set. Be aware that it is a little short, and as a 6'1" male I was slightly worried about it, but it has turned out to be great for our whole family. You could probably fit 8 people around it if you backed up each of the four individual couch pieces to create a gap in between them. My wife and I love this feature actually, as it's easy to carry out individual sections to the lawn if we have company over lounging. But it also comes with clips in case you do want to keep the semicircle together. Very pleased with this set and the whole experience here on Wayfair.
