Over all I am very happy with the product its well made and the chairs have room to comfortably sit. I was surprised that the quality was this good for the low price. Shipping took a few days but it was all packed well in one box. Now I will say you will have no finger nails by the end of the day. The building is super easy the hard part is getting the nails to turn while holding pieces together it was hell to build and you get arthritis from it but if you can manage to figure it out and have patience with the screws the thing is easy to build it took me two hours alone because with another person meaning my partner it would be a divorce starter kit for sure. I would say patience is key and the outcome is great looks nice and it\'s sturdy.
UPDATE!
I am changing my rating due to how quick and courteous the customer service was. The responded and sent out replacement parts only a few hours after I sent out my email informing them of the issues. They also sent out extra parts, just in case.
The pieces all went together without any issues and look exactly like the photos! Sturdy and decently comfortable. They also got rained on today and dried much faster than I expected. I will upload a new picture once it’s light out as the dark doesn’t do them justice. I may even buy another set for another portion of my backyard! Very satisfied and highly recommend.
Multiple issues happened with this product. It came missing over half of the screws with the box holding them wide open and screws all throughout the shipping box. There was also a hole at the bottom of the shipping box that allowed all of them to escape during transport. I was only able to put together the two chairs, and now have to wait for a response from the seller and the additional days needed to ship me replacement parts. If they remedy the situation I might be inclined to change my rating, but as of now I’m thinking it might just be easier to return the whole package all together. Will update after getting a response.
Once you get done assembling the thing, it’s a surprisingly sturdy and comfortable set! Looks super nice on my patio and came at a great price, and arrived a little early I think too. Looks way more expensive than it was. I could do with *slightly* wider arms on the chairs/loveseat for more comfort when resting your elbows on them, but otherwise they are great.
4 stars instead of 5 because the other reviews aren’t wrong - this set is kind of a nightmare to assemble. The wrought iron frames aren’t perfectly aligned so not all the holes line up (they’re pretty close, though). It takes a fair amount of mashing and shoving and pulling to leverage the parts into the right position to get them screwed in. And frankly, the instructions could be a little more blunt about the “don’t tighten everything immediately or you’re just going to have to loosen it all again anyway to get the pieces in the right place.” At the end of the day for me, though, if all the holes have screws and they aren’t wobbling around, it’s still a functional chair. I am waiting on 5 missing screws...I have some make-shift M6’s that are the wrong length as placeholders until I get the replacements from the seller. Updates with seller responsiveness and helpfulness to follow!
Each chair and the love seat each probably took at least 30-45 minutes to assemble (on my own - might be faster with a team) because of the stiffness of the wrought iron frames and that the holes aren’t perfectly aligned. Nothing wobbles, though! The table was easy - 10 minutes tops, mostly because I could actually get to the screws from every angle. That the arms and backs of the chairs prevented accessibility to the screws and corners to push them into place was the major difficulty I had.
But for
I just received this set yesterday and put it together in the evening. I did it myself without hubby\'s help. Took just about 2.5 hours total. Here\'s my opinion:
1. Organize all the parts in their groups. Follow the instruction guide.
2. Be patient, you\'re using an allen wrench. Finger tips may get sore. Mine did.
3. Tighten everything real good and it will be sturdy.
4. It\'s light weight and smaller in size than you\'re big expensive sets.
5. The cushions aren\'t terrible, a little thin, but enough cushion for my liking. I\'m going to make my own covers for more color.
6. For the price, I think it\'s a fantastic set!
Overall, I\'m very pleased with my purchase. I will know more as we use it but again, for that price I will get my money\'s worth.
