The garden furniture arrived securely packaged, in 4 boxes. There is a fair amount of self-assembly, which isn't particularly difficult, but is time consuming, so allow 2-3 hours. There are a lot of screws, washers etc, but small tools are provided. I found that there were actually a number of extra items, which is a great idea. I am happy with the finished result. The furniture seems to be of good quality and looks good. The cover that is provided is very lightweight, and the first time that there was just a moderate wind it lifted and blew away, so it would be worth buying a more substantial one. I had to contact the supplier as there was one stool cushion missing, although there were 2 extra chair cushions. I have had a reply and am now waiting for another cushion to be delivered. I am happy with the quality of the goods and service I have received, and would recommend Tectake to others.
