4.5 stars is probably the correct rating, but it's better than 4, so 5 it is. Couple points that may help someone who is looking at this seating group. First, the description says it comes in one box of about 110 pounds or so (don't recall exact citation weight, but one box), that gave me some cause for concern, that's a lot of stuff for only 100 pounds. Actually you get two boxes of 120 lbs each, with half the group per box (two chairs, one table & one love-seat). So 240 lbs (110 kg total) will arrive in two boxes (about 200 lbs of actual product). Boxes are very manageable with two people. Another review talked about one box being a perfect start, they were right. Instructions are okay - not bad, and you get extra hardware for every piece (very good). In the end you'll have 16 hex wrenches, which seems a waste. I used one for the entire set. Recommend a ratcheting hex wrench and two individual hex wrenches (vs 16!), would be more user friendly. Assembly was pretty straight forward (very reasonable time wise) with a note to put in the bolts that hold the backs on the chair/bench first to ensure alignment of the back before you put in and tighten the screws. I put a little bees wax on all the screws, an expert woodworker told me many years ago that it will prevent any splitting and makes driving the screws easier. He was right on both counts - no issues with the screws. Per the instructions, don't over tighten the screws - no need to. As above, I did one box first (and used the furniture that evening with friends) and opened and assembled the second box the next day. The wood is nice, far from perfect, but this is a patio set, 8 pieces at a very reasonable price. All the hardware worked, no problems at all. All the cushions are nice, with excellent velcro fasteners to keep them in place. Time will tell how it holds up, but looks good, comfortable and very functional (we need to seat 7 occasionally). Pleased with our purchase, delivered ahead of schedule, easy to assemble, looks good, works well, excellent price.
