My wife and I really enjoy the product. It fits well on our new deck and the ability to change up the seating to accommodate different groups is really useful. Right now it is in the traditional setup, but we move it around this past weekend to create three distinct seating areas for friends and family. The assembly was very easy (use a drill with a Allan bit, don't use their wrenches). In total, it took 75 minutes from opening the box to plopping down on the chairs to put together.
