I love my new front porch furniture! I was surprised when it was delivered though because it came in one big box. I guess I didn't read the fine print and see that it had to be assembled. However I put it all together in a few hours one afternoon with just the tool included in the box. I put it together myself, but, like the instruction said, it would be easier if you had someone to help you hold the pieces together while you put the screws in and tighten them. It is sturdy and comfortable and looks fantastic on the porch at my new house! I added a few outdoor pillows and it is a relaxing and comfortable place to enjoy the sunset! I would recommend this to anyone!
