Love this patio set! It is beautiful, sturdy and the chairs are VERY COMFORTABLE! Would have given 5 stars if the fasteners and channels had been machined more accurately! The challenge is the alignment of the screws/fasteners vs the receiving channels.Some screws go into the channels just fine, while others will not go all the way into the channels. We left all of the screws/fasteners loose until all had been started. Even this method did not help things. Also tried inserting the screw into its channel before assembly to see if we were doing something wrong, and the screw would not go completely into its channel. The chairs rock as the legs are not even after assembly. Tried loosening fasteners and adjusting.still rock, but will live with that. Pretty frustrating! We did finish the assembly and are enjoying the set very much! Again, it looks great on our deck and the comfort of the chairs is aming for the price! We recommend this set, just be prepared to spend some time working to align everything. Its OK.
