The first order I received had several damaged parts, however customer service immediately sent another one out. I was concerned about putting this together based on some of the reviews, but it was not difficult at all. It does take some time, but it went together pretty smoothly.  I do however, suggest having at least 3 people to help put  the corner legs on. It was extremely challenging with only 2 people. But so far I love it and it’s really sturdy. I had zero issues with the sturdiness during 2 heavy rain storms in Chicago. Pro tip: order the furniture clips and make sure you use canopy weights if you aren’t going to screw the legs into your deck or patio.
