Our teak wood patio set was falling apart and we needed to replace it with something that resembled wood but would be sturdier from the weather. This set has the look of wood (table top), sturdiness of the metal legs and nice basket weaving design (chair backs and table edge). Overall the look is very high end. We recieved the table in one box, and the 4 chairs in another box (all required assembly). I was updated via emails and texts that delivery would be by UPS. Both boxes arrived at the same time, 2 days after the initial order.The packaging took me the longest, as each peice was individually wrapped with bubble wrap and tape. Took about 40 min to unwrap everything. The instructions are Ikea-esque and can be a little tricky. The table was easy to assemble solo and without power tools. I read previous reviews that mentioned the chairs being difficult to assemble and the screws not aligning with the screw holes, and I found that to be the case when I started on the first chair. If you follow the directions included you will have issues, but my husband suggested putting the chair together in the reverse order of the directions; this suggesstion turned out to be genius and worked perfectly for the chairs. So start by screwing the back of the chair to the seat portion and work backwards from there. Other than that, the table set is really nice looking and a good value price-wise. We are pleased with our purchase so far.
