We just received and assembled our new patio furniture. The delivery was quick and easy. The assembly wasn't too bad, but the instructions leave a lot to be desired. When putting together the ottoman make sure the long side piece with the holes for the  hydraulic attachment is closest to the back (with hinges).   Neither of these are mentioned in the instructions but; The velcro on the inside of the Ottoman does have a  purpose, it attaches the included protective liner. 
 For the money this is a really nice set. That being said the cushions could definitely be thicker and it would be nice if the ottoman cushion attached in someway.
