Weve had this set for several months now, and while its been a great patio set, assembling it was not easy. I found the hardware included with the set to be of astonishingly poor quality. The bolts all take a hex key to screw them in, and many were incredibly soft or off sized and stripped out while assembling the table. A trip to the hardware store took care of this, but I shouldnt have had to. Its also a lot of work to screw the thing together by hand with the hex wrench. Philips head or a socket head bolt would have made this a lot easier. So is it a good table? Yes, and the chairs are also very nice as well. Just be prepared for some skinned knuckles and some yelling while putting it together.
Great to use, a pain to put together
