This all came in ONE box! i cant believe how well packed it was.  Not the easiest to put together since none of the pieces were labeled, but the instructions were pretty clear so we figured it out.  It took two adults a few hours to complete.  It looks nice, although a tad on the smaller side.  Not a deal breaker though.  This set works for us because we live in New England and the weather can be harsh and we leave the furniture out in the winter as well as the summer.  We don't like to spend a lot on outdoor stuff because expensive or not, it doesn't last long. This is a great set FOR THE PRICE! Keep in mind that it is a basic (I like the clean lines) outdoor wicker set that was well below the cost of comparable sets.  I didn't attach the greatest photo, but you can see the furniture blends in well with what we had already and works well on even a large patio.
