The set arrived as forecast and was packaged neatly in three separate boxes. (each about 40 lbs.)  The assembly was fairly straight forward, all the tools needed were included in the parts bag. (there was even an extra washer, nut and bolt in the parts bags rather than being one short)  A socket set would be a real time saver, speeded things up for me.  The furniture is solid, rust resistant, and attractive.  I added an umbrella and stand, as well as padded cushions for the chairs. (18" wide is ideal)  I have just begun using the set but I have no complaints.  

Pros: Price/Quality, no maintenance surfaces
Cons: Custom seat pads as an option would have been a plus
