The product came in 4 boxes. 
I thought I was going to need help but I didn’t. 
I set it up all on my own. It did take me 3 hours exactly to finish setting it up. 
The instructions says NOT tighten up the screws until all the screws are put in place for each section.  
That is exactly what I did and for me it was easy to build. I had no issues in the alignments of screws or anything of that sort. I took my time and follow the instructions. 

Great Patio Set for my back porch. 

I love it.
