Beautiful set. Looks better than expected. I am a 60 yr old woman, and I assembled this alone. All the holes line up properly. This is a quality piece. The cusions are nice and thick, which is very comfortable. We put a custom glass top on the table, giving us more room and a smooth surface to place glasses, etc. You don't "need" the glass, but it also looks very nice. An added bonus is that the ottomans double as extra seating for that extra guest or two. All in all, a great buy. Highly recommended.
