I love this set and everyone who has seen it thinks it's beautiful. I have room under my pergola for all pieces to fit in one arrangement. Shipment came in 3 boxes 3 days apart. It was carefully packaged with all pieces and cushions in their own plastic bags. Sticker on each piece labeling what it was. Small box contained hardware. Instructions were clearly written with pictures. I'm a senior woman and was able to put it together myself in less than 4 hours. Each chair is very lightweight. Velcro on seat bottoms and cushions is great and the clips to hold pieces together are good. Cushions look like they will hold up fine to grandkids in wet bathing suits. It's perfect for me!
