This patio set is a great buy for the price. It did take some time to put together, but it isn't that difficult. I was missing a few screws, but called the manufacturer and they sent me what I needed. The only issue Ive seen so far is that some parts of the metal frame have already started to rust. It isn't visible since the frame is only exposed on the inside or bottom of the pieces, but I thought this wasn't a good sign especially since they have only been outside for a few weeks.
