I purchased two products, a teak rocker and a teak bench. Both seem to be of good quality - nice thick wood, well sanded, and consistent in appearance. They each required some assembly, which is fine. The method of assembly involves hammering wooden pegs (supplied) into pre-drilled holes to join the pieces. Unfortunately, the holes did not always line up well and were very tight, so a number of the pegs broke when I tried to drive them into the holes. I had to remove the broken pegs by drilling a small hole, inserting a screw part way, and then pulling on the screw to remove the broken peg. I then had to re-drill the pre-drilled holes so that the two pieces could then receive a joining peg, using a small amount of lubricant to help the peg go into the hole. Because I was only originally supplied with the bare minimum number of pegs, I had to purchase more pegs from Home Depot. They worked, but are not as good a color match as the originally supplied pegs. All in all, I am satisfied with the result, but it was a lot of work.
