Fantastic patio set for the price. I (a petite female) put it together fairly easily. Though, my boyfriend had to go behind me to tighten the bolts just a bit. Like every one else. You don't tighten all the bolts completely when initially putting the set together-just enough to hold it together. After putting the chair or table upright, that's when you fully tighten.

The set held up well in a thunder storm and none of the furniture moved in the wind. Overall, I'm happy with the set.
