The set was delivered quickly and was all in one large box.  It was packed with precision, on a pallet.  Unfortunately, one of my arm chair legs poked through the cardboard and is damaged.  Still giving 5 stars!  The love seat and table require some assembly.  I did both by myself.  Follow the directions closely with the table!!  I live in MD so I bought covers for all the pieces to protect it for the elements.  I can honestly say that I was beyond impressed with the quality of the material used for the cushions and the throw pillows.  This set will definitely last.  It is solid and good quality. I got the Cilantro color, it was a hard decision.  Good quality lawn furniture is not cheap and you get what you pay for.  Even the glass for the table is thick and solid.  I am very happy with my purchase.
