This was a present for our son & his wife and I was nervous about how the quality would be after I ordered it. After assembling the first piece I felt comfortable that it would be sturdy, comfortable and good looking. The assembly was not super easy, but total assembly time was maybe 2.5-3 hours for the whole set. Directions were clear, and after I switched to a driver and a T25 bit instead of the incuded (in every box) allen wrench it sped up considerably. The feet are adjustable, the fire table works well, the cushions are comfy and the whole thing looks very nice on their patio. It is cleverly designed and very well packaged. It also costs about what we were going to have to pay for the sofa and coffee table alone, so definitely a win. To be fair, I renovate houses & am comfortable putting together Ikea stuff, so what is easy to me may be slightly harder for some folks, but pay CLOSE attn to the instructions and keep the screws and parts organized and you should have no problem.
