This is a nice product for the money. Everyone that wrote that the holes do not line up are correct. I found the best way to assemble this piece is to not fully tighten the bolts until you’re putting the last piece (Glass holder) so you have some wiggle room with bolts to catch and tighten. Good luck.

Seeing the price and some of the reviews, I didn't have high expectations - I just wanted something simple for my balcony. To my surprise, it's a pretty decent piece of furniture.CONSTRUCTION: Relatively easy. It took about ~1 hour to build. HELPFUL HINT - do what the instructions say and only put the screws in half way to start! This makes it so much easier to line up the holes all the way around. Once every screw is in, it's a breeze to tighten them all the way. Some screw locations make it a challenge to get the wrench into them, but with a little patience it all works out. I also had 2 screws that were almost impossible to get started...they were barely long enough to reach the hole...but once I got all of the other screws it I was able to get these stubborn ones in.POSITIVES: The materials feel pretty solid but time will tell how they hold up (I just got this so I can't speak to durability). Another big positive is the height of the chair - I'm 6'4" and wanted something that sits higher up so I could sit properly and work on my laptop. The chairs on this are 18" off the ground (20" with the pad) and I love it. By comparison, most deck chairs sit only 13-15" high (the companion chairs I bought are only 13" high...good for lounging, not good if you want to get work done).NEGATIVES: The suction cups for the glass are absolutely worthless so I just used clear packaging tape on the underside to help secure the glass in place. The seat cushions are pretty low quality, thin, and don't really offer much/any support. I'll probably buy some thicker ones.ADDITIONAL - Along with this piece I also bought the "Tangkula 3 Piece Patio Conversation Set". Which is 2 stand-alone chairs and a little end table. The colors & materials of both furniture sets are identical so I now have a complete outdoor furniture set for only $382. (by comparison, I just saw a bench like this one that ran for $450 at Target, whereas, I got a bench, 2 chairs, and an end table for almost $70 less than just the Target bench). Here's the Amazon description of the matching chair set: "Tangkula 3 Piece Patio Conversation Set, Outdoor Rattan Sofa Set with Beige Seat Cushions & Coffee Table, Patio Wicker Furniture Set for Garden Balcony Backyard Poolside (Black)"

We wanted something black, but not the harsh iron benches out there, and this was it! We have brown wicker in our backyard, but it doesn't fit the aesthetic of our front porch that is white/black. It was fairly easy to assemble and all parts fit correctly. Cushions are off white. We are very happy with it.

What I liked was the price and overall looks of the piece. What I didn’t like was how some and I’m being generous when I say some of the screw holes didn’t line up. Had to muscle and persuade some to finally fit, probably took an extra hour to put together. It’s for a small space on my front porch, fits perfectly. I really like it and glad I made the purchase.

Bought this for my front entrance. Assembly wasn’t the easiest but also wasn’t terrible. Some pieces came out of the box a little rusted. But for $125 can’t beat it

I like the set.There was an issue with assembly. Two bolt holes did not line up,one was covered,and one of the glass brackets was very bent.
