This is a lovely addition to my backyard. The set came in 4 seperate boxes that was delivered over the course of 3 days. I was a little overwhelmed at first but once I completed putting together the first swivel chair the rest came easy. With a little bit of patience and some help from my electric drill I was able to get all 8 pieces done in 2 days. FYI...I am a 73 year old female so if I can do it anybody can do it.
