Before purchasing I read all the reviews. They were very helpful and correct. The set is about 2/3 the size you probably expect but certainly will seat 4 adults. Quality is good for the price. I expect it to last 3+ summer seasons. Any more is a bonus. Putting it together is a challenge. It comes in one large box. The parts are not labeled (which would have been a great help). It takes quite a while to unpack the parts and sort them out. Putting them together is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle without the picture. If you don't like sitting on the ground you have to find a table to assemble it on.  Plan to spend 3-5 hours putting it together. You may also need a helper to help hold parts in place while you screw them together. The alan key and stamped open end wrench provided are of poor quality. If you have a few real tools it would be helpful.
