Was very surprised to find the 4 piece sectional all fit in in one box. It took 3 of us to put it together - about an hour. After we assembled it we found that the rods to keep the corner chest open were the wrong size.  Website states that it is weather proof but the instructions included in the box state to keep out of direct sunlight and to wipe it down after it rains. It is very comfortable and I like the look. Just wish I felt it would last more than a couple of years.
