The set is lovely and very comfortable. Seating height is perfect for getting seated into the chair and rising out of the chair. Easy assembly, but do not force the screws between the legs and the rocker and make certain that the chair legs and rocker nodules align. Tools come with the set, but I did use my own Phillips screwdriver. It was worth the 30-40 minutes of assembly. Love the black semi-gloss color, well-made set. Looks great on my small sized front porch. Great set for the price. I am very pleased.
