I Don't write reviews but this set demands attention. Getting 5 pieces of very attractive patio/deck furniture for this price seemed too good to be true, but in fact turned out to honestly beautiful and sturdy. We have a very narrow deck that runs along the back of our house (26'x7') that is awkward to say the least. I have been pondering how to make it work since we moved here almost a year ago. This set works perfectly! It came in 2 boxes as others have noted and my husband and I put it together over a 2 day period. There is a lot to put together but it is well made, the directions are clear, and the finished product is 5 very sturdy pieces. The cushions are beautiful and comfortable. Be aware there are 2 sizes bottom cushions. The 3 on the sofa seat are one size and the chair seats and ottoman cushions are slightly smaller. The cushions definitely resist light rain and morning mist (we just flip them to the dry side when we go out in the morning. we have purchased a waterproof cover through Amazon by Vailge that fits the sofa. We pile all the cushions on the sofa and the cover protects all. no need to get separate covers for the chairs or ottomans.We love how comfortable it is and the burnt orange cushions look great. My husband is very experienced in putting things together and took the advice to tighten the screws of the chairs at the end and found the rest of the assembly to be pretty straight forward. The price was great compared to Costco or Home depot's similar sets. It doesn't look bulky, but still feels substantial. We have had the set for 3 weeks and are very pleased.Super comfy, very thick cushions that repel water enough that if it rains I tilt the cushions and the water runs out. SS hardware to put together as well.Very pleased.We wanted some new deck furniture and this was a good price and had positive reviews. It was delivered early and even though Amazon said it could arrive in two boxes on different days I got both on the same day.I gave it 4 stars because the instructions were a little fuzzy to follow and I had one screw insert in an ottoman that gave me some trouble but has not affected how sturdy it is. After figuring out the best way to assemble the first chair the learning curve kicked in quickly as it all goes together the same. I used my own tools as I had a better wrench and the bit to use in my power driver and that made assembly much easier and faster but you can use the tools provided and get the job done.It's very sturdy and comfortable to sit on and we are very happy with the purchase so if you are on the fence I say just buy it and you will be satisfied.Assemble had a slow start but once I got the flow, it went together easy. Love the product.We assembled the chairs first--and like other reviewers, put the feet on first. Once we did one chair in about an hour, all the rest of the five pieces were easily done. There were enough parts, and extras were included. All holes lined up. Nothing was damaged in shipping. My husband did most of the pieces, and I did the ottomans. The cushions are really sharp, the throw pillows attractive coordinating aqua and blue. It is absolutely gorgeous. This is a big set. [It came in two boxes, one gigantic long box which was very heavy. The other square box contained the two chairs, which they call "single sofas".We love this set and are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it is. The ottomans are perfect for putting our feet up. The only negative remark I have..and it really isn't a bad thing..is the tape included to attach the ottoman cushions to the ottoman seems sticky when you're applying it but doesn't stick to the ottoman. Gonna try alien tape for a better stick.Looks great very solid. Good value. Instructions Not very helpful
