Best Choice Products 5-Piece Modular Patio Wicker Daybed Set

So the product looks good over all however when sitting on it, any slight movement will separate the pieces. I wish I would have spent a little more money and gotten the ones that lock in place but it was way to hard to put together to take it apart and return it

UPDATE – I called customer service and amazon put me in communication with the seller. They replied within a day and looked into the issue of the missing box. It was shipped separately and they provided the tracking number. The missing box was received next day.

If you are not handy, you may want to get somebody that is. The instructions are clear, all the parts labeled but it can be very tedious to put together (I am a mechanic so these things are no problem for me). My husband has zero patience and it was amusing to see him struggle. The key is to have a hex bit and ratcheting tools to make this easier. Some parts will be better for two people to put together. Do not skip instructions and do not take shortcuts. The bed is comfortable and beautiful, well made. I really love it and I hope it lasts under the weather. It even came with a cover. It is an excellent buy and the seller is great!

ORIGINAL POST:
I just received my order today and only received 2 out of 3 boxes. Just put in a request with customer service and will update once I get resolution.

So I wanted to write a review because I read all of them before purchasing and I was really worried about if I’d be able to actually put it together. While it definitely took double the time than the directions said, it really wasn’t THAT bad if you do the right prep work and then have the right tool. So here is my advice:
1) Before starting, take out all of the pieces and organize them. Take the bags of screws and bits and label them with sharpie by looking at the directions. One of my “jobs” in putting this together to save time was gathering up all of the right pieces for each step to hand to my husband. There were a lot of steps we were able to work on at the same time. We did accidentally use the wrong mirrored piece and had to undo it at one point, so just be careful. The directions aren’t the best, but I wouldn’t call them terrible either. All of our pieces aligned correctly (seriously, don’t skip tip 4!) and the stickers stayed on each piece when I took them out of the box.
2) You will hate yourself if you try to use the tools it came with. The angles are so awkward and it is difficult to turn the screws by hand. We used a ratchet and star screw bit that fit. If you don’t have those things already it is absolutely worth buying a cheap set before starting to put this together.
3) I don’t know how anyone could possibly put this together on their own. There were a lot of times I held things up for my husband to get the right angle. Bribe a friend need be!
4) DO NOT fully tighten the screws until the end of setting up each piece. This way you can flex things so they fit in the really awkward angles.

As other reviews mentioned, the cushions do not stay on by themselves. Deducted one star for the fact that there is no built in way to help them stay on. I tried Velcro, but the adhesive won’t stick to the cushions so if I want to go that route I’ll need to hand sew it on which seems like a big. Before I go that route I’m trying a big rug gripper. One complaint my husband had it is feels lower to the ground that he expected, but that’s not a huge deal to me. The cushions are just alright, about the quality I’d expect from cheap plastic wicker furniture.

I did not have any issues with delivery, but one box did come a couple days after the other. So don’t freak out if yours don’t come at the same time.

Overall I’m very happy and do think this is a good value for the price!
