We finally have our patio dinning set! Just in time to enjoy the Fall weather. The chairs arrived in three boxes (2 chairs per box) and the table arrived exactly one week later. The chairs were not too difficult to assemble. They took about two hours total for my husband to put together. All of the necessary screws are included, including a little screwdriver tool (though my husband stopped using the enclosed screwdriver tool after the first chair in favor of a lower setting on his drill. That really helped the assembly to go a lot faster.) We did purchase separately an outdoor cover big enough to cover the table and chairs. Reading some of the other reviews, it sounds like a cover is really needed for the table, especially. But overall it’s a beautiful set, and we’re excited to get some use out of it!
