We are very pleased with our purchase. It took approximately two hours to put it together using an electronic drill with an Allen bit. Trust the instructions when it says to leave the screws loose until they are all in because you need that flex. NOTE: if you are putting the chaise on the left as you look at it, note the diagram for that is further on in the instructions and not the first chaise application. I appreciate that each piece is marked with the letter that corresponds with the instructions. I also appreciate the precision of the holes. Some reviews say they had to drill holes but if you look the pieces over you should not have that experience. Once together this is very sturdy. The cushions are well sewn and the zippers work smoothly. This is perfect for our small condo patio. Our picture is in the evening and the accent pillows are ours.
