Looks great and seems fairly sturdy. I do think someone mentioned perhaps sealing it if it’s going to be used more in the elements, and I think that seems wise. Wood doesn’t seem to have any line of defense against moisture. Puppies love chewing on it too. Assembly took me about two hours. Be sure not to make the mistake I made, and ensure that the two arms that then attach to the middle table aren’t used for one chair (probably would have taken me a little less time had I realized this before putting the first chair together incorrectly and then having to loosen everything and switch out arms). Also, yes, you’ll need a screwdriver for the bottom supports, which isn’t provided. Added cushions from Lowe’s to finish them off, though seats weren’t totally uncomfortable without them.
