This set was as easy to put together as the other reviews said.  It definitely needed a power drill to put the screws in for the lid hinges (it was too difficult by hand).  Also, as others have stated, the cushions are not attached to each other or the benches, so they fall down easily, but it's not a big deal.  It's comfortable, and now my family can hang out on the back porch and enjoy the nice weather!  There were a few spots of minor damage when it arrived, but not enough to be a problem.
