LOVE THIS PATIO SET! Great purchase for the price. I have been looking and comparing and this one is a really good deal...very sturdy. It takes some assembly but its straight forward - there were illustrated instructions included but if not, you can go to your order history there should be a link to click on for assembly instructions. The set came in two boxes. Would have given 5 stars but I had ordered the gray set and one box with the ottoman/table had the brown color instead. I called and the right color will be swapped out for us...have to wait another 3 weeks tho. Pic is of the gray set - chair and sofa - waiting on the ottoman and coffee table to come in the right color. (ordered outdoor throw pillows and rug on joss & main)
