I actually love this set. It took some doing to put it together. Maybe about 2 hours total. You need two adults to put everything together. By the time I got to the center table, we were tired from the FL heat, so the latch doesn't stay, it's a little off center. A lovely feature of this set is the waterproof storage for the cushions in each of the storage tables. Absolutely lovely. I have a small patio and this fits perfectly, extremely comfortable. I would give it 5 stars if it didn't take me so long to put together. If you're handy, it shouldn't take as long as it did for me. All in all a good buy for the price. I'm pleased.
