This is the second time I’ve ordered from this company. It took me alone about 3 hours to put it together from start to finish. If I had waited for my husband or someone to help me it would have been a lot quicker. Directions are better then any others I’ve got from China. Great over all. I’d order again.Love this set! Very sturdy, got many compliments! Although the blue color I chose did fade in the sun in a short period. I contacted the company and they were 100% accommodating. Shipped me new cushion covers at no cost to me. I did choose the red which doesn’t fade in the sun. With a covered patio, I’d go with any color! Overall great set for the price compared to many others. I am satisfied with my red cushion patio set!I wasn't expecting much for a $600~ dollar set like this from Amazon, but was pleasantly surprised after building it.It came in 4 boxes, which were all 4 separate shipments over a week. Putting it together is time consuming, but not difficult, after putting together two seats you can repeat the process for the rest of them and it's straight forward - I do recommend having your own ratchet and drill to use for the assembly, as the ratchet that comes with it is not that good; having a drill with an Allen bit saved me time at some points of assembly.It's not too soft, but not too hard. Feels comfortable enough to lounge on. Surprisingly the finished product is very sturdy. My only criticism is the little table only has 4 suction cups on each corner to hold the glass panel in place - this doesn't really help with preventing the glass from sliding off - having some kind of clamps would be nice, but as long as you don't have a 10 month old that tries to climb everything, then you're fine.Nice set. Great customer service from the company. Sits low to the ground, so not ideal for tall/heavy people.We love this patio set! The color is spot on, just as described. It came in 4 boxes & easy to follow instructions. The cushions are thick and firm so they will hold up well & red pillows give a great pop of color! It is well built and we are considering buying a second for our pool that’s going in soon!It’s perfect for my porch! Very good quality and so pretty. But I will be adding Velcro to help the cushions stay in place better.My husband took about 4 hours to install the set. He said it wasn’t hard just time consuming. We absolutely love it! It is very comfortable, not too hard or soft. Very sturdy. Will most likely by one for the front porch.What a great product. I was pleasantly surprised just how sturdy and cute it is! A great buy. I have my friends and family wanting this set for themselves! My brother put it together without a problem. Took a little while but he had no problems. Great product!
