I was a bit skeptical at first, but I really like this set! It's definitely lower to the ground than I imagined, but really comfortable and versatile. I plan to use it on two side of my patio, but to be safe with COVID, I separated out each individual seat and spaced them around my square table with a gas flame. The box is about half the size needed to hold the cushions, but all around, this is a great little set. It took me about 10 hours to assemble all of the pieces, but after assembling all of the chairs and stripping the allen wrenches, I went out and bought a ratchet set, which made it so much easier to assemble!
