it wasn't too difficult to assemble, about what you'd expect, but the end result was very nice. The cushions can be removed and washed, the height is just right, and the set doesn't take up alot of space. The only issue we have is the glass on the table does move. The suction cups that it has are not the best, but to be honest, we don't really move it around, so for our needs, it's not a deal breaker. I could see it being an issue for someone else that has kids or pets that might knock it aroundSee full review
