Our Strathwood Two-Seater with Ottoman's was received on time in 1 very large box and in great shape! After reading some of the reviews, I was concerned about assembly. But between my husband and I, it was really a pieace of cake. I guess the best advice came from a prior review which stated not to tighten the screws until you have others in the same area already attached. The resin wicker looks like it will last well outside and the colors on the cushions are even prettier and more vibrant than the photos. A great value for the money! We will be looking for other Strathwood pieces.
