The set arrived undamaged and it went together without much difficulty.  Assembly went better when I tossed the included hex key and used a ratchet wrench instead.  The set is all right for the money.  Many of the welds are not pretty but that is mainly cosmetic.  The cushions don't attach to the furniture.  They therefore have a tendency to slide around when you sit down. The back cushions are especially prone to sliding down when you lean back in a chair.  I may have to sew on some straps to correct this.
