I wasn’t sure about purchasing this but it was a great deal that I could afford. I set it up on the shaded end of my patio and it is my husband’s new favorite spot to hang out! The pros are that it looks nice, and the table doesn’t have a glass top like almost every patio set I looked at. The top is metal with a slight texture to it—way easier to keep clean than glass! The cons are that if you are tall you may not like the low backs. My husband and I are both tall, but we both can lay on it and it’s very comfy. He takes one corner and I take the other. Like a lot of patio furniture it is low to the ground. I thought it was reasonably easy to put together, but I did need an extra pair of hands occasionally and the ratchet set and a small wrench from our tool chest made it easier. It did take me a long time—several days because I only did a little at a time. I’m a 65 year old woman.
