Beautiful set.  This has to be assembled, but it comes with directions and hardware, and it is basically easy.  But it's best to have 2 people doing this.  I had my 11 year old grandson help put this together.  It is not too big, just right for my townhome deck.  If you have a smaller deck, especially a townhouse size, then this is perfect for you.  Glass tabletop gives elegance to this set and the seats are sturdy yet comfortable.  I purchased some memory foam outdoor pillows and this makes sitting even better.  Interestingly, this is the same set as the Ugalde 3 piece bistro set.  Same exact pieces, just smaller.  So if you want matching sets for a couple of decks or a deck and a balcony, get both of these sets.  Yes, I would recommend the Draeger Outdoor 5 piece dining set.  Very cute and cozy!
