This set came packaged tightly, with plenty of packaging to prevent damage to the product. (Cushions not included or needed) The pictured instructions were simple enough for me to put both chairs and table together in less than 30 minutes. (Allen wrench included for assembly of all parts). The quality of the material is sturdy and beautiful. I especially like  the rich brown color. I was looking for a shorter set that would compliment my low lying window on my small front porch, and was not disappointed. These Adirondack style chairs are perfect for this space, and are comfortable and relaxing to sit in, whether it’s coffee in the morning or sipping wine at sunset. This set would also be perfect for anyone looking for outdoor furniture on a smaller apartment patio. I highly recommend it.
