I highly recommend this set. It's good size but not too big. Our yard is sectioned off so this is our kid's play area side. I wanted something comfy that I could sit and watch my kids play. It's a perfect conversation set. It went together easily. The directions are just images so no actual how to. After reading the reviews I expected a troublesome build but thankfully it wasn't that bad. Took about an hour and a half total. The pillows are stiff but I like that. Will take longer to breakdown. If you are looking for a conversation set for a smaller area this is perfect.
