Overall I'm very pleased with the set of which I actually ordered two to accommodate the space as a conversation setting.  The metal frames included a ding or two and a few scratches which were not worth my time and energy of which to lodge a complaint because they were all very minor -- not likely noticeable to anyone who is not assemblying the pieces.  The total time it took me to assemble a single set (chairs, ottomans, and table) was an hour and a half.  The chairs are VERY comfortable, so much so we've entertained guests for several hours in conversation.  I would have rated the item with five stars had it not been for the few blemishes on the metal frames.
