The set works great in the small area of my patio.  As many have stated in other reviews, the set does take a few hours to put together.  I've put together bookcases (large and small) and other furniture items so I'm fairly experienced.  My recommendation is to use a drill with an equivalent allyn wrench size bit as compared to the one provided with the set.  
The only complaint that I have and the reason for the 4 stars is a better system of labeling the pieces.  I found that there were some bars marked with a very dark marker with a number but it was not legible.  My suggestion is to use stickers that can easily be removed so that a novice is able to clearly see the number of each pieces to ensure all are provided (as recommended by the instructions).  
The cushions are comfortable and the set is worth the money paid which was during a great sale.  Overall, I would recommend the set.
