The set took one month to get shipped to Tampa from California.  We felt this was way too long.  Delivery was great though and none of the pieces were damaged.  We received the set in one box.  It took my husband and I a total of 2 1/2 hours to put it together. The directions were very poor with no details or step by step directions.  None of the pieces were labeled.  The set looks nice out on the patio but the cushions are very hard and the material is not what we expected.  It is not cloth, it is more like a stiff, heavy, waterproof covering.  Definitely outdoor material and not for comfort.
