First of all, this item is shipped as freight, so delivery is not via the UPS guy like most of my Amazon products.
Secondly, some of the pieces were labled wrong. The seat had a sticker on it (Back) that was clearly in the front by the illustration--and the only way it would fit together. The major assembly is by Tenon and dowels, which is fine, but impossible to take apart to replace or re-asseble (see next point).
Finally, one of the pre-assembled joints was poor and I had to use glue to keep it together. All-in all, I don't recommend this product.

As a Director of an assisted living community, I purchsed 6 of these for our front porch with the Franklin seat cushions. They have been appreciated by everyone - residents, families, and guests alike. They are very good quality that I expect will last for many years. They assembled easily and we will be using them for a third summer this year. The matching side tables are great as well. I am purchasing for my own home. I would liken them to Smith & Hawken quality and I would recommend these to anyone.

Solid construction. Comfortable. Assembly may be difficult for some, but a reasonable project. Time will tell how weather resistent it is.
