So I wanted to write a review because I read all of them before purchasing and I was really worried about if I’d be able to actually put it together. While it definitely took double the time than the directions said, it really wasn’t THAT bad if you do the right prep work and then have the right tool. So here is my advice:1) Before starting, take out all of the pieces and organize them. Take the bags of screws and bits and label them with sharpie by looking at the directions. One of my “jobs” in putting this together to save time was gathering up all of the right pieces for each step to hand to my husband. There were a lot of steps we were able to work on at the same time. We did accidentally use the wrong mirrored piece and had to undo it at one point, so just be careful. The directions aren’t the best, but I wouldn’t call them terrible either. All of our pieces aligned correctly (seriously, don’t skip tip 4!) and the stickers stayed on each piece when I took them out of the box.2) You will hate yourself if you try to use the tools it came with. The angles are so awkward and it is difficult to turn the screws by hand. We used a ratchet and star screw bit that fit. If you don’t have those things already it is absolutely worth buying a cheap set before starting to put this together.3) I don’t know how anyone could possibly put this together on their own. There were a lot of times I held things up for my husband to get the right angle. Bribe a friend need be!4) DO NOT fully tighten the screws until the end of setting up each piece. This way you can flex things so they fit in the really awkward angles.As other reviews mentioned, the cushions do not stay on by themselves. Deducted one star for the fact that there is no built in way to help them stay on. I tried Velcro, but the adhesive won’t stick to the cushions so if I want to go that route I’ll need to hand sew it on which seems like a big. Before I go that route I’m trying a big rug gripper. One complaint my husband had it is feels lower to the ground that he expected, but that’s not a huge deal to me. The cushions are just alright, about the quality I’d expect from cheap plastic wicker furniture.I did not have any issues with delivery, but one box did come a couple days after the other. So don’t freak out if yours don’t come at the same time.Overall I’m very happy and do think this is a good value for the price!UPDATE: So I’ve been using this for about 3 weeks now and I LOVE it. It has truly become my happy spot. So many people have asked me where I got it and are jealous. I wanted to add here that the rug gripper works amazingly well. I bought a very large sheet of it on Amazon and then put the pillows on it and traced around it in sharpie and used scissors to cut it out. If you were separating the pieces to use for more people I would say you would need to cut the rug gripper for each piece to make the cushions stay on, but I haven’t done that yet and we mainly plan of keeping it together. I do wish the sun shade was a bit bigger, but it’s not a dealbreaker. The cover it came with is garbage and too small to even properly fit over everything so it’s a huge pain. But it was free so….. It does seem like the cushions will flatten out and not fully regain their shape after using regularly by the end of this year. I still think it’s pretty comfortable though. Again, I think having reasonable expectations for this thing is important here and you do get what you pay for. I’ll probably try to get better cushions next year if they’re flat. Still, my husband and I both agree that we love this thing and it’s definitely worth the price and pain putting it together. Even with having to buy the rug gripper, possibly a new cover, and cushions it is probably about 1/3 the cost of comparable ones I’ve come across.

Finished product seems to be good. A couple of things need to be addressed though. First, product comes fully disassembled is A nightmare to put together. There are stickers on each part so that you know how to assemble based upon the corresponding sticker. 80% Other stickers have fallen off or were no longer there so there was a huge guessing game. Many of the parts will were exactly the same except where the Bolt holes Were Relocated. Assembly is A nightmare! Instruction said two hours for two people was what was required to assemble… It took us Over six hours and we are both very handy! It would be better if the company found a better way to label the parts and perhaps even produce a short video showing someone putting the product together. I think the product is well made my only problem is with the assembly.

We just assembled it today. It took two people 5 hours to do it. I would not recommend doing it without a rachet wrench with a hex bit. Using just the hex wrench that came with it would have taken MUCH longer. We also used a drill with a hex bit for some parts.I'm so glad I read the reviews and took the advice of the person who said review and label all the parts before you start. Most of the pieces did not have stickers, but it wasn't too hard to figure out. Be careful with labeling piece 111 and piece 112. There's definitely a "sided-ness" to those two pieces.I found that if I screwed the foot screws in each panel before assembly, it helped us not put anything together upside-down.I also put all of the hardware into separate tupperware containers with a piece of tape with the part number on the inside bottom of each container. That really helped when following the instructions.Btw, when they tell you not to tighten things up before you have all the bolts started for the piece you are working on, TAKE that advice. Some people in the reviews complained about things "not lining up". It is much easier to get all the bolts lined up and in if you've only hand-started each.I chose not to clip the round piece or the two seats to the main couch part. I may do that later, but I think it will be more functional for entertaining as separate pieces.Some reviewers complained about the quality of the cushions and pillows. This is my first day using them, but so far they seem fine to me. I am already really loving shade of the canopy. That's going to make this really useful for me; I'm not a sun-lover.The color is perfect for my house color and the carpet color of my deck.It seems to be a sturdy piece. Time will tell. As of right now, I'd say it's a good find. (If you can get past the challenge of the assembly.)

Bought this for additional seating options by the pool. Really nice piece when all done.But holy moly, close to 8 hours to assemble.Now that it’s done, pleased with it.

There are 2 improvements that need to be made to get a higher rating. The tools they give you are horrible to work with and your fingers and hands will definitely feel the pain after set up. Some of the Allen bolts holes should be threaded not opened. Lastly the cushions slip off very easy there should be some type velcro to keep them in tack. But for what we paid (discounted) it was worth the purchase.
