We received it in time for the holiday weekend. The instructions are easy to follow, tools provided are adequate, however using power tools expedites the process of assembly. I was really impress that the holes and pieces line up perfectly, which made our life easier. Once put together the set is sturdy and looks even more beautiful than in the pictures. We chose the green cushions, the color tone is just right, we also purchased a matching outdoor rug that goes well with the set. Now that it is all done I am already considering adding some smaller pieces to it such as ottomans or small side tables
