The patio set arrived before the due date in two cartons which was nice.  The individual pieces appear to be quite sturdy and well put together.  We haven’t assembled them yet given that it’s winter in Canada right now and there is snow on the ground.  Each seat cushion is individually wrapped in plastic and identified by the name of the furniture piece it corresponds to.  The only disappointment with the purchase is the colour of the rattan.  In the picture the ratan is a greyish colour whereas what was shipped is dark brown.  I specifically wanted the greyish colour ratan was one of the things that drew me to this set and so I was somewhat disappointed by the dark brown.  But overall the set is lovely.
