Ok the first thing you need to do when you receive this purchase is when you have checked from the instructions that all your screws nuts and bolts are there  is to throw  the instructions  away they are totally useless.  I am a 73 year old woman  and I put this together myself not sure why some people think you need two people you don't. But I do agree put the feet on first much easier. As for the set it's beautifull well made sturdy, cushions spring up once out of bag.  I'm sure  it will last many years if taken care of I would highly  recommend  it
