Im so glad I took my time looking for the ideal patio set. It arrived in perfect condition, and the assembly took all of three minutes. The chairs are single pieces only the tabletop has to join with the base. The tabletop flips for storage with an easy trigger system. The table and chairs are easy to clean, which was one of my primary considerations. The chairs are comfortable too. Its not a tiny set. The table is spacious. Works for us! (Took a while to ship. Didnt say it was backordered until a week or so after I bought it. But Wayfair surprised me with some credits.)
