Shipping was super fast. The box came pretty beat up so I was nervous to open it but everything was intact. It was easy to assemble but the allen wrench included stripped the screws easily, so make sure you use your own tools. The rattan was unraveled on the bottom of the backs of the 2 chairs. I used hot glue to fix it. It is very comfortable and the height is good for my husband (6'1") and myself (5'10"). The cushions are thick but very slippery. Overall, we are quite happy with the set for the amount we paid and have already enjoyed many summer nights on it, enjoying a cocktail and music.
