Assembly was relatively easy for two people and took about 20 minutes. The frame is sturdy and well made. The cushions were stuffed into the box and were wrinkled and misshapen on arrival but have since straightened out. The seat cushion slides back and the front bar of the chair digs into the back of our legs so we are careful to pull the cushion forward a little when sitting down. The straps under the seat stretch and sag when you sit so we threaded a piece of heavy cardboard through the straps with pretty good results. The legs are short, making it difficult to get up out of the chair so we put risers under the legs. The table is very sturdy and well made.
