This set was exactly as I expected. Arrived in two large (heavy) boxes. Very easy to assemble and came with extra screws (which I fortunately did not need). Assembly took me and a friend about an hour while sipping on a glass of wine. 
The cushions are thick and a bit firm but comfortable. I love that the cushions attach to the frame with velcro tabs - keeps everything in place. The wood looks like it could use some oil but we are keeping ours indoors so I'm not worried about the elements so much.
I'm very happy with this set and look forward to some lovely fall evenings.
