Although the assembly instructions could be better, with time and patience we were able to put it together and we were pleased with the final product.  What I was absolutely not happy with was the condition of the box when it arrived as it was broken and torn up and placed in a puddle on my driveway.  We do have an enclosed porch area that would have made more sense to leave the loungers under, seeing as it was raining the day it arrived and now a torn up soaked box was not easy to pick up and move. Thankfully there were no lost or broken pieces. I think a little more care of our product would have made my review a 5 star.
