I looked for three days online to find the best outdoor patio that was under $1500. I found it! An added bonus was that it came one whole week early and my family and I were able to enjoy it for Memorial Day weekend. The set looks amazing and is sturdy and very comfortable. Only drawback was assembly was a bit long which we knew based on all of the reviews. My husband put this together in about 3.5 hours. He said that the ratchet that comes with the set does not fit the screws so best advice is to make sure that you have your own ratchet set. Purchase if you don't have or you will be miserable.  We still give it five stars and so did our company. Update 6/11/18--still absolutely love!
