As to assembly, the chairs came assembled so we only had to assemble the table which we thought would be easy but it wasn’t bc instructions horrible, and it took forever, definitely a 2 person job. There were minor scratches on 1 of chair leg but not worth ha of sending back and bottom of chairs have rubbers to prevent scratch marks on flooring. The umbrella is good canvass quality, but could have been at least 3 inches wider bc any rain comes in. I could swore the details said the chair reclines, if it does say that, then recline is being used very loosely bc it doesn’t. The overall chair design is sturdy enough but the metal piece that’s on top of chair sticks into your back… So you will need a cushion for comfort. The table and chairs are light weight. Overall this product is worth the price and it looks like the pic minus the scratch on chair leg.
