This product was almost impossible to put together. The screws and threaded holes they are supposed to go into did not line up at all. Not only that, but some of the Rattan material completely covered up the screw holes themselves! Finally, I had to hire a certified professional carpenter who had to use his power drill to access and adjust the screw holes. He said he has put together dozens and dozens of these types of furniture pieces and has never ever come across one this difficult to assemble. Normally, he said he could put together a piece like this in less than 20 minutes. This one took 2.5 hours and he almost gave up! The thing is, I really liked the piece once it was finally together. I just can't imagine why the company would go to all the trouble of making the sections of this Chaise Lounge and pay no attention to the fact it cannot  be properly assembled the way it is sent to the customer. Is there no quality control at the factory where it is made?
