Just got it. I will say I hope all the positives about its durability are correct since our balcony gets some pretty brutal weather including salt air. I'll limit this review to the assembly since it can be made easier than the 4 hours I see some people reporting. The actual tool you need is a small socket wrench or electric driver with metric M6 and M8 sockets (yeah, I know, maybe not every household has these and it even took me forever to find where mine was buried). Crescent wrenches and box wrenches are going to have a hard time since there are tight corners and a lot of the milling is not good. Some bolts really needed to be torqued-in forcefully. Assemble this in good lighting since all of the components including the washers and fasteners are jet black and the manual is printed in black and white with B&W photos of all this jet-blackness. You really can't see what's supposed to be going on. For some reason, the manual says to assemble everything finger-tight and then take it outside all rickety and tighten it. I thought this was unnecessary and introduced some confusion. You see, when I brought it outside and tightened it, it plainly was not level and I spent a considerable amount of time trying to see if some overtightened part was under tension and bending or if the balcony itself was not level. Nope: the unit itself won't be level. It appears to be designed to be assembled sloping backward with the footrest too far down relative to the legs. The manual doesn't mention that it has leveling feet! You might need to extend these 1/2 or so to get it all level. We had rain last night and I did notice water coming out of the frame when I moved it, so possibly killing off each bolt with some silicone caulk would be a good idea.  Read Less
