Not very easy to put together-took a while to sort out the different pieces as they weren’t numbered, and the Allen key was awkward-we use a drill with the correct attachment and it worked much better. The weave on the back of the seats isn’t straight but fortunately the cushions cover this. The pieces come in separate boxes so we couldn’t make one item without both boxes-there was a delay with the second box which was misplaced and had to be replaced but we couldn’t get on with assembly because all the screws were in the second box. Having said all that, we are very pleased with the finished product and it fits well on our patio, so all-in-all a good purchase
