I made sure to read many of the reviews here before purchasing this set, and I'm happy to say that there were no surprises!This furniture set looks great, is relatively simple to put together, and most importantly is sturdy. All the parts needed for assembly are carefully packaged. My only complaint is that it wasn't preemptively communicated, nor indicated in Amazon's tracking system that the shipment would arrive in multiple packages over multiple days. When I reached out to the seller I was immediately provided the additional tracking numbers to confirm that none of the packages were missing. Everything arrived quickly (to the Pacific Northwest), very happy with the time to deliver.During assembly, I found it ideal to use a small drill with a torx bit and a low torque setting to set most of the bolts, and then hand tighten to finish. Some of the heads to the bolts are soft and it can be easy to strip them, so take care not to over torque and to drive them at a straight angle.Overall, very pleased with this set. It has held up very well for us over the past several months. Unfortunately, the furniture covers weren't available when I bought the set. I would suggest either getting the covers for it or plan to store the set inside if you have snow and ice in the winter.
