Way better quality than I expected! The assembly wasn't terribly difficult, although it helped to have someone assist with lining up the hinges so I could screw them together. The cushions are a bit thin, but overall I am extremely pleased with this set. I probably didn't read the description correctly when I ordered it because I thought only the short table had storage. I was pleasantly surprised to see both tables have hinged lids for storage. They also have Velcro liners for the inside - another "perk" I didn't notice until I opened the box. I'm super happy with this purchase & can't wait to lounge around!
