I put this together myself yesterday and what a feat it was.  The resin wrapped tubing didn't go together right and there are gaps between them with exposed screws.  I thought the screws and nuts for the base were rather wimpy.  The top piece is the last part to go on and it doesn't line up.  With one side inserted into the tube, the other side doesn't go.  I can see it will need to be bent into position.  It doesn't look like the screws holes will line up either.  For $560 of tubes, a base and cushions I thought it would be much better.  Looks good so far with the top piece only sitting on top, I will give it that.  It's on my deck and I purchased a waterproof cover, we shall see how it holds up.
