The group arrived in a single box, a bit beat up by the shipping from Vietnam, but the contents were protected and without damage.  One person may be able to assemble the entire group alone, but it would be difficult without 2 people to facilitate holding everything in place while it was screwed together. It took two of us about an hour, but the very last screw had a slightly misdirected metal peg requiring a slight adjustment with a drill, taking at least 15 min at the very end.  When assembled, everything is sturdy and should hold up to our use. All wood is solid. 
The color and finish met expectations, and are pleasing to us.  The cushions are a bit thin, but very adequate for our expected occasional use. 

Pros: Sturdy and nice appearance for the price.  Met expectations. 
Cons: Minor misfit during assembly.  Not suitable for heavy use over many years?
