It was easy to assemble and looks sturdy. We had this for only a month and used it 2x since it's been raining a lot so I can't tell yet if it's really sturdy (read 2 reviews about it falling apart). The color is not exactly the same as the picture, it's a lot brighter. It still works but I wish the picture is more accurate in terms of the color. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and Wayfair customer service is outstanding! Upon receiving this set, I checked the product description and noticed that the price went down. I sent an email to customer service and they immediately sent a refund for the price difference.
