It took me less than five minutes to put it together very simple, very easy, super fast. I consider it to be very well made an nice an sturdy. What a great addition to my porch definitely. Me an my husband love sitting on the porch after coming home from a long day of work, an to have this i must say it's very relaxing. Sometimes we just go fishing an listening to the water so we get a relaxing feeling but now I have my own ambiance right at my own home. I receive so many compliments on how elegant and beautiful it is.
