Bought this set when it was on sale (under 600). All the other sets that I looked at needed to be assemble. The chairs in this set come fully assemble and with enough bubble wrap to keep a kindergarten class busy for hours. They are shipped separately-2 at a time. The table was delivered 1st and the only assembly was attaching the legs. The Allen wrench was missing but I had one that fit so it took less than 5 mins to line them up and tighten the screws. So easy. All and all it’s a nice set, the material matched the rest of our patio furniture, minimal assembly, and I caught it on sale. Fir the price, i’d recommend it.￼￼￼
