This set was easy to put together (but written directions may have made it even easier).  The only tricky part is making sure the weaving on the arm pieces doesn't get twisted when attaching to the seat section.  These look great on my patio and are comfortable to sit on.  Although I did swap out the cushions for a color more my style, the ones that came with the set were fine as well.  I plan on covering in bad weather and over the winter to help them last longer, but I'm very happy to have this affordable set in time to enjoy the best of summer!
