Simple assembly, everything is good quality and looks great, and is very comfortable.  I love it.  Instead of using the lava rocks it comes with, I purchased some Celestial Glass pit glass (20 lbs).  I also purchased the functional and beautiful glass windscreen from Celestial Glass - wish this was something that was included in this set from the beginning, but, it worked out as this is the perfect size for the table and looks like it was made for it (size is 40.5 x 10.5).
