Lovely set, and surprisingly comfortable. It arrived very well packaged, in fact if anything, a bit TOO well packaged! We were left with the most enormous box and a huge amount of plastic bags to recycle! Once we had eventually removed each piece from the packaging we managed, between two of us to assemble it all in around an hour. It was a bit fiddly but not too bad and the instructions were quite clear. Very pleased with the over all look and sturdiness of the furniture, and it is roomy to sit on and very comfortable. My only criticism is that the cushions smell terrible! Almost like fish! I am hoping that the smell will die down now they are unpackaged, but once they were outside
you aren’t really aware of the pong!
