We are very pleased with this set and would highly recommend it.  The furniture came in one large box and all pieces were wrapped and well protected.  The instructions for the assembly were very clear and easy to follow.  The set is very comfortable, especially the chairs - once you sit down you really don't want to get up!  We have a small screened porch and needed furniture that was more streamlined - less bulky - and this set fits perfectly.  We are very happy with our purchase.
