We are on our second season with this set and am still in love. Harkening back, it was easy to assemble and solid.  One caveat is that there is a solid table beneath the layer of wicker on its surface which means spills get "trapped" between the wicker and that solid surface requiring one to tilt the table 90 degrees to the ground to remove the trapped liquid. NOT a deal breaker but something to consider with kids, or inebriated adults :).
