The set is shipped in just a few boxes so don't be alarmed like I was; everything is in there. If you can afford to have Wayfair put it together, do so. It is time consuming and somewhat of a headache because holes don't always properly align making it a bit difficult to put together. It took us 2 hours to put together the 1st set but the 2nd set moved a lot quicker because we knew what we were doing. The color is as described. I was impressed by the comfort of the chair and love seat. I have big men in my household, over 6 feet, who were also happy with the comfort. After we finished putting it together, there were two chairs that were misaligned and warped. Cant tell i  the pic but you'd know by sitting in them. Wayfair did not hesitate to make it right by ordering another set. Still waiting for it but I trust it's coming, as indicated. Well worth the buy!
