I first bought a pair of the Elements Chairs, which I really loved. I thought I would look for something else to provide "ottoman" and "table" space but everything I could buy from a brick and mortar store, was pretty low quality and very expensive. Although you need to be careful to "slide in" the sides of this table so that they don't go wonky, overall, the assembly was quite simple with my electric drill and 3 inch drill bits - and I am one of those people who ALWAYS struggles with assembly - so for me to make this claim is a pretty wonderful thing! I'm using the "end table" as an ottoman for one of the chairs and have placed the "coffee table" between the two chairs on my very small patio. All of the pieces look fantastic, are incredibly sturdy and have a terrific proportion. I've added some bright yellow seat cushions to go with my bright yellow patio umbrella and it just looks wonderfully welcoming, clean and fresh. I really love these products and would buy them again/recommend them to friends.
