It was a great purchase. We enjoy it. The chairs are comfy without coushions, it looks really good and it was easy to assemble, just takes time... - 7 pieces anyhow! I've used some of my husband's wrenches , it made it much faster and easier to tighten the bolts. All arrived in good shape, packaged well and assembly instructions are clear. We're still waiting to have patio itself built - LOL- but already hosted a group of friends and everybody enjoyed the set! Good buy, would recommend to others.
