My 13 year old grandson assembled the patio set so assembly isn’t too difficult. I knew the end chairs would not fit under the table from the reviews but actually none of the chairs can push in under the table very far. That’s a bit of a bummer. The cushions that come with it are weather resistant material - nice- but are thinnish. And White is the only option for the cushions. I’m just keeping it real here. So for the money it’s a nice set. I really like the way it looks. I rubbed it down with Teak oil. But know this stuff before you buy it.
