This is an awesome outdoor set! I was looking for a set with ottomans and this one is perfect for my small front patio. Assembly was fairly easy for me (single female) but it does take a bit of time. You have to use the provided Allen Wrench with the small wrench to tighten most of the nuts and bolts. It is stylish and expensive looking. Great find and value for the price. Oh yeah, and it's also comfortable to sit in :-)
