Decided to get this seating group set as I recently just purchased an outdoor firepit- and wanted a seating arrangement that would match it pretty closely. The assembly part wasn't too difficult- you just need to have patience, and some parts may need to be straightened for the screws to go in, but it's nothing crazy. I would make sure to have this seating group on even ground as if it's on uneven ground it's a little wobbly. The chairs are very comfy, and the table is just the perfect size for storing our drinks while enjoying the fireside. The structure is also very sturdy, and I can see this lasting for years to come :)
