I honestly cannot understand all the reviews that say this was easy to assemble. It’s been three hours and this thing still isn’t ready - the holes aren’t aligned, they aren’t big enough to screw the screws in and you can’t get a drill into the space to make them bigger. The instructions are worthless! Additionally, the quality is very poor - I will be surprised if it lasts until next summer. You get what you pay for on this one. The cushions/pillows are not comfortable (but with the price, you can get new ones). I’m extremely disappointed with the purchase of this item.
