It was fairly easy to assemble. The exposed nuts and bolts on the outside should of came with plastic caps or covers. We purchased 2 sets. 2 suction cups on each sets table to hold down glass came crushed. Emailed company for replacements. It's been over 24 hours and I haven't gotten a response email yet. I think the cushions are fairly decent and comfortable, my husband disagrees. He claims the cushions are too thin and not comfortable. Overall I am pleased with the set.
