I debated on whether to give it three or four stars.  I just put it together this weekend and after the reviews on how difficult it was to put together I was expecting something a lot worse than it actually was.  We got it put together in about 2 hours.  My only complaint is going to be with the cushions! They are thin, lightweight and rather 'cheap' looking.  I bought a number of throw pillows, so it does make it look better.  The base looks nice.  It is low and rather small, but it will fit our outdoor space.
