I’m giving it 5 stars simply because you can’t expect to have a high end furniture set when you pay lower end prices. This set fits perfectly on my balcony. It was fairly easy to put together, but it’s definitely a little challenging tightening the screws. Very simple to assemble, but a bit time consuming. It took me a little over 2 hours. I will have to see if it stands the test of time, but it looks nice and is comfortable.
