It arrived in perfect condition. I was a little skeptical because some of the reviews mentioned that some of the legs of the chairs were slightly bent upon arrival. There was nothing wrong with ours. The chairs and table are lightweight, so if you live in a windy place, you may want to think twice about this purchase. The wicker is pretty durable. This patio set looks sharp. More importantly, from my husband’s perspective, the assembly was easy. He did it in 20 minutes; that includes opening the box and unwrapping everything.
