We LOVE our new patiox2 set as we call it because it's HUGE: eight awesome pieces, WOW! Now we have more than enough uniformed seating for our decently sized townhome backyard and our guests on longer have bring their folding chairs. The instructions were easy to follow, however the estimate 30 minutes per item was ridiculous. Since there is at least two of everything we used the assembly line method: all eight pieces were completed in roughly 2.5 hours. Though I wanted black, I'm so glad that I took the less expensive route of brown as add on pieces (unique chairs, coffee tables, bars, and even trashcans) can be purchased from other stores and match exactly. Tons of pillows, but the set is perfect with or without them; we decided to store ours until we have guests as the only draw backs of this set are 1) it is not stackable, so we keep it on the patio exposed to the elements and 2) the cushions are not Sunbrella.
