I assembled this on my patio and it is a nice place to sit and read or work on my computer. The side table is just right to set items like a drink, my laptop, a writing tablet, or a phone. The instructions for assembly were not very clear. I eventually figured out how to assemble it correctly. There were a lot of washers and lock nuts that needed to be used when putting in bolts, but the instructions said nothing about what to do with the washers. There were the same number of washers and lock nuts as the bolts that went with them, and I realized this after putting in a few bolts as pictured in the diagrams (which did not show washers and lock nuts), then I figured out that a washing and lock nut must go with each bolt. I then had to screw the bolts back out, then properly place the bolts, washers and lock nuts. If you have assembled similar things before, you can probably figure it out easily enough. If not, yoiu might need to get a more experienced person to help or else call for support if they have not corrected the assembly instructions. I think there is also a video you can access to see how to assemble the chair and table, but I did not want to bother watching the video, and I figured it out by myself.
