But let's start with the positives. The furniture comes unassembled in a sturdy box, the glass plate was cunningly between the pillow and was again specially packed. When transporting the items are so well protected despite the high total weight. The delivery is also home to an appropriate hex key, all the screws and cover members were present.
From the practical and of the optics, the furniture also makes a good impression. The black goes perfectly with the green pillows, everything looks very classy and you can sit wonderfully in it. Thanks to its size it is suitable for smaller terraces or balconies. The rattan is wonderfully easy to maintain and quickly cleaned with a damp cloth and when winter comes can be slow in putting away the furniture, thanks to its light weight quickly.
So far so good. However, now comes the part that has this very good impression completely ruined and I'm still puzzled on whether I just had bad luck and a "mon model" have caught, because I can explain all this to me not. Here's what it all went wrong in setting up and processing:
- At some screw holes and at several points in the drill rather large and unsightly rust spots had already been formed, even though the seating "fresh" came out of the box
- The small pad holders for the glass-topped table were crooked and had to use a hammer only be bent into shape to give a reasonably straight and stable support to the plate
- The side panels of chairs and bench were partly so warped that some holes did not fit each other and thus the screwing to Torment, a total of three screws could not be processed (we hope just now, that it holds so ... )
- To the building so to be able to cope with some moderation, we hung out for two or three on the parts to compress them or keeping them in halfway correct position - from "easy assembly" can there be no talk
- Unfortunately the supplied Allen key is not very useful, because you most a quarter turn creates before you again need new and secure it with other tools will not get you in the small, winding corners - which is extremely demanding in the necessary effort and could we girls are not alone overcome (thanks to the neighbor)
- Ultimately the greatest catastrophe: some screw holes were wrapped in rats have been so easy not left blank! It now had no choice, as the panel to cut there, which has produced a few new, aufgetrödelte points in addition to the so already partly protruding sharp edges
When evaluating I therefore now varied between one and two stars, because my appearance really like, you wonderful it sits and the furniture, thanks to its ease is simply practical. But when one considers the enormous processing disappointing and disproportionately severe build-up in relation to the price, just do not star in it. As I said, I still hope that it was just a "Monday Model", but how can you know that already.
