This is actually a great deal. Expectations were fairly low given the price point, however, after seeing the finished product, we were very impressed. Like most folks doing a review on this patio set, instructions are fairly easy. Once you put the first piece together, the others were pretty much the same and goes together quickly. If you have left over parts don't panic. They gave us two Allen wrenches in every bag of parts as well as extra screws. The cushions are thin, but firm and comfortable. And they are white. Beige or oatmeal would have been a better color choice for outdoor furniture, but for the money we can get different cushions later. Very pleased with our purchase and it looks great on our covered patio.
