Assembly took 3.5 hours. It is wearing nicely in the Northwest thus far, though we have not had any rain in some time. The cushions are light and fall over when there is even light wind. Overall, nice product for the price and fast delivery! We recommend it for a small patio space. The only reason we are giving it 4 starts instead of 5 is the cushions. They are comfy though if you are used to modern/simple furniture.
