The dining set was well packed and I received the entire order the same day in 5 large and heavy boxes.  

I would recommend having someone that can lift heavy boxes and has an impact drill/driver assist in the assembly.

After assembly I applied 5-6 coats of varnish on the set. The dining set is very nice and perfect for my outdoor/covered patio. But it would not last long if I didn’t take additional steps to protect the finish. This dinning set is more indoor than outdoor. 
With most sets of furniture you are given an allen wrench to use for assembly of the table and chairs with a gazillion screws to insert. What a joke. It would take a month to complete the set, especially the chairs.  Definitely need an impact drill/driver

Overall, I believe it’s very nice set of furniture and a good value for the price.
