Easy to assemble. Perfect for a smaller patio area. It would have been great for the apartment patioledge I had in college. Word to the wise - do not throw away the wrench from the table hardware packet because you will need it for the chairs. I gave it a 4 because there were four places where the finish was scratched through to the bare metal. Luckily I had some turquoise spray paint, (although it was much lighter) and the scratches were in places you wouldn’t normally see.
