When the delivery men came I thought that they forgot my sofa.  But sure enough everything was packaged  neatly in 5 boxes.  Don't panic when  you open the boxes and see the black cushions. The covers come packaged individually. I  chose Bliss Blue and I love the color!  It took me 2 hours from start to finish to unpack,attach the covers and zip up the cushions (the most time consuming) the tables were a breeze to put together. The sunbrella fabric seems like it will hold up well and the frame construction is  pretty sturdy. As for comfort, it's not super cushiony but not as hard as a rock either. Only time will tell how well this set will hold up.
