I purchased this set for my small patio area and discovered it’s the exact same set my neighbor purchased! The assembly took some time - the pieces were not labeled (deducted a star) so I had to be deliberate in making sure I was using the correct items. I did assemble one of the arms incorrectly and had to undo it. It took longer than anticipated but overall it wasn’t overly complicated or too long. Sturdy, functional, stylish - good value!
