The item arrived in great condition no dents, scratches or anything.  It took 2 days for  me and my 2 sons to put them together. My 2 sons thought the direction wasn’t complicated at all so that really helps. The product itself looks sturdy and stays for many years. It looks great in our backyard deck! Waiting for our outdoor furnitures to arrive...I ordered it from Wayfair also. My husband loves it worth for the money!
