We received this yesterday, and decided to put it together to ensure all of the pieces were there and nothing was broken or damaged.  My only complaint and annoyance was the packaging (zip lock bags) of the instructions and screws/washers.  The bags were ripped, which allowed the screws/washers to empty out inside of the box.  Each furniture piece we removed from the box had to be carefully unwrapped and searched for loose pieces.  Thankfully we were able to locate enough of what was needed to put the seating together, however, any spare pieces that we would have had, are no longer available.  Other than this, we do love the furniture and look forward to using it when the weather turns.
