This is a great product I read all the reviews and decided that I would go for it, keeping some of the reviews in mind I decided to give some advice on some of the things I remembered reading about. So when I received my boxes I noticed that one of them had a little sticker on it telling me that is where the hardware was SWEET!! one less thing I have to dig around for. So once I had instructions in hand I realized I needed to open all the boxes and keep items in boxes together around the boxes they come in as one of the reviews mentioned instructions are a little confusing so I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.  Next I grabbed one of my husbands drills found a bit that matched the all the screws and the rest was simple, actually had it together in about an hour and a half.Before you connect the chairs make sure you attach the cushions. Super comfortable very happy with it.
