Our patio (porch) furniture arrived a little sooner than expected, in 2 large boxes.  At first it was difficult putting it together because the wrench provided was too slow.  My husband cut the short end off the Allen wrench and put the long end in his power drill.  It went together so much easier.  He put all 5 pieces to get her himself only needing my assistance to hold the larger pieces together.  The set is beautiful.
