ok, these are really quite nice for the price. they are solid, sturdy and look very nice. not cheap looking at all. you can easily tell they are vinyl and not real wicker or rattan, but still overall very nice. 5 stars for the finished product. I am thoroughly impressed with the build quality!however, as the other reviews have said, the assembly can be difficult. the supplied M6x30 screws are just barely long enough. yes they work, but with very small tolerance. it will be difficult getting some parts together. also, the actual assembly differs from the instructions, and the 2 chairs require one more screw than is provided. So I was short by 2 fasteners.However, I went down to the hardware store and got a bag of M6x30 flathead machine screws for like $2 and that solved the problem. if you are having difficulty with the length of the screws, get some M6x40 at your hardware store and use those. the extra centimeter will make assembly much easier.again, still a great product and I recommend it. It is a a good size, easy to assemble, durable. .It keeps a lot of moisture out, but if you plan on leaving them in the elements, I would get chair covers or bring your cushions in at night. If it rains, they'll take a bit to dry all the way through. The quality is always there and the price is just right. I'm just so happy with my little patio area now with this comfy and sophisticated looking set. We were excited when we got this but none of the screws fit correctly. They are too short. We contacted the company and they helped us. Now everything is good and we have a nice set!! Once everything was put together it wound up being pretty nice. My problem is that there are two different lengths of screws and nothing AT ALL indicates which holes get the longer screws since there is enough thread on the shorter screws to work in all the holes. I just wound up putting the longer screws in the holes that appear to be somewhat load bearing but not everyone will think about that. I went online to watch their assembly video and no mention at all was made of any use of the longer screws versus the shorter ones. Was excited about this set, read great reviews, however this was NOT OUR CASE! The assembly was a nightmare. the screw holes were covered by the rattan, and couldn't be moved due to the construction of the rattan. Some of the screw holes were not aligned correctly so the screws would just spin and spin. Need tiny midget hands to screw some of the screws in place. Took over 3 hours to assemble just one chair because of the screw issues and it is still not assembled. Can not recommend this set to anyone. VERY DISAPPOINTED We purchased this patio set for our screen in porch. First issue was that the hardware for assembly came in a plastic/cardboard packaging which ripped open during shipment which of course spilled the hardware inside the box. Instructions could have proven to be better. There are two length screws and it was not clear which ones went where until it was too late and I had to go back and uninstall some of the long screws to go else where. Assembly in itself was not difficult.Once assembled the furniture looks great. We did need to purchase extra pillows for comfort. Overall the set was not bad for the price. The shipping is fast, took 2 days to receive. The installation is a little bit headache, but after my husband figured out how to set it up, it fits our new house's balcony well and feels comfortable sitting on it. More importantly, it doesn't look like 'cheap', the design is simple but elegant. If you want to find a good outdoor sofa set with much money, this is a good choice. Beautiful set. Arrived early. Well worth the price. Only downside was it comes in 2 boxes which wasn’t super clear. We only got one box at a time so I panicked when we got it because it didn’t have all the pieces. After reading closer I found out it contains 2 boxes and the second box arrived 2 days later.
