My husband and I started assembling this on our own and spent an hour and completed one chair.  The people who completed the whole set in an hour or two must be builders of some kind!  We turned the task over to a handyman and he finished in about two hours using his own tools.

That said, we have the furniture all set up with a new umbrella and it looks great!  We've already had dinner out there one night and it was very omfortable.  I like it !

Will attach photo.

Pros: Good weight, attractive
Cons: Assembly takes a long time!  (Unless you are aptient and skilled)
