Super comfy and just the right size for my apartment balcony! In terms of putting it together, just be sure not to tighten the screws in all the way until they're all aligned. Also, it does take some maneuvering and muscle together since the holes feel a bit stiff and it's tough to turn the tool around the whole way without hitting wicker. But I think I assembled it properly haha ...love the blue color too -- it really gives ocean vibes which feel like you're at the beach or pool even if you aren't! The pillows are attached by velcro and the chair and ottoman stay connected pretty seamlessly, with both pieces feeling lighter than expected.
