This patio set was so difficult to put together. I saw the reviews saying how hard it was and I should’ve listened. I would definitely pass on this set if I had the opportunity. I tried to return it but unfortunately its past the 30 days allowed. My husband is very handy and this set was so frustrating to assemble, the holes are not aligned properly. It’s definitely a manufacturing problem for sure. It’s not a coincidence that several customers have the same issue. After six hours we finally put it together with a lot of pushing and pulling in an attempt to get the screws in holes that are offset. I wouldn’t give this patio set to my worse enemy. I guess I got the set that was part of the bad batch. Don’t do it, it’s not worth the trouble.
