This set looks really nice on my deck.  Our weather hasn't been good enough to sit outdoors yet but it I can't wait to use it.  I paid a company to put the set together so I can't really comment on the ease of putting it together (I certainly was overwhelmed by just the thought of putting it together, although it did arrive in 1 box).  The latch on the storage table is not the best (that's why 4 stars and not 5).  I am happy with the purchase though.
