I bought this for a friend who is in assisted living.  I needed something comfortable and sturdy.  The quality is good and we love the look. Assembly was more tedious than difficult since an allen wrench was required and the corners were a bit hard to turn.  There was only one bolt wasnt in perfect alignment, but did seem to affect stability.  When the cusions got rained on after a heavy rain, the cushion had to be be removed from the cover wrung out and took some time to fully dry.  They seemed to retain more water than expected.  Nevertheless I am quite happy with the set.
