This is SO chic, so cozy for snuggling into and throwing your feet up on the hammock. I did have to stalk this on Amazon as it was available, I hesitated, and then it was sold and showing delivery in 1 - 4 months. I kept checking on it and in two days, it was available. No hesitation whatsoever, I hit order. I was shown a few possible days and time ranges for delivery, and picked a morning appointment (you do have to be there to sign for it, it's about 150 pounds and two very friendly delivery people wheeled it in to my courtyard, laying it on it's bottom quite gently). I received a confirming phone call from Ceva, the very fabulous delivery service a day later confirming my delivery date.I stared at the huge box for a few minutes, feeling suddenly a little intimidated. I remembered the reviews in which a few had said it had been easy to put together but a few had some difficulty lining up the holes. I bravely slit the heavy cardboard box open, only to discover it contained another heavy duty cardboard box: great protection for the set inside. I slit that box open and carefully stacked the pieces, noticing that each had a letter. A bag of screws, instructions and the stack of items wasn't that overwhelming. The pillows were far nicer than the reviews indicated, pure lovely snowy white and good zippers, comfortable and sturdy. I took photos of it all and thought about trying to put it together but decided it was a perfect Sunday family thing to do.We had no power tools and put it together by hand, only using a silly small screwdriver at the end to tighten everything. It maybe took two people, and my encouragement which may or may not have helped, to put this together. It began with a corner piece and our increasing happiness: this looked awfully good. We spent some time admiring the one piece, putting the cushions on and taking turns sitting on it. The hammock and table came next. I ripped out the rubber bits that are used to secure the glass top. It seemed secure enough on its own and I thought that if it weren't I'd just get a piece of wood for the top, paint it black like my picnic table and never worry about the glass. A week later and it's quite secure.It came together quickly after the first couple of pieces. One or two of the areas were tight to screw in so we used a spritz of WD40 to help the screw: it worked well.This is so perfect for two or three people to sprawl out, half lying on it. The cushions come to the middle of your back and sitting upright is very comfortable. It's not an overstuffed armchair - it's this and as you can see from the last photos, we're quite comfortable. It's sort of zen and chic, wildly affordable and what a great looking set at any price, let alone this insanely great price.The frame inside the wicker seems sturdy. There's several hummingbird families in the trees above this and happily rubbing quickly with whole foods organic baby wipes got rid of the bird mess stain immediately.I bought the suggested cover to go over this in the rainy season, it's not too heavy.My courtyard is long and narrow and this fit perfectly. It looks amazing against greenery.Added 7/14/2016: I washed the pillow covers. The back cushion covers were easier to remove than the seat cushions which were nicely overstuffed, requiring patience. It's necessary to close the zippers when you wash these as unfortunately the inside seams are not finished and there were quiet a lot of loose threads, pretty much my only complaint. These didn't shrink and responded very well to an oxi-clean gel stick (thanks birds) and detergent with a little oxi-clean white revive. No fading, no shrinkage. I was careful to dry these at a lower than usual setting and checked frequently to grab them when they were just dry. Not excessive wrinkling and stuffing the cushions back in (squeezing the sides of the seat cushions) helped. I cut off the threads and hope this was a one-time issue. The cushions are fresh and white, looking exactly as when unpacked. It's kind of amazing how well priced this set is with cushions so I can most definitely live with threads.We sprawl on this every night, and it's so comfortable.
