I love this patio set, the wood is really sturdy and great. Main down side is, despite there being zippers on all of the cushions and pillows, the seams all stretched or have tears after only one gentle cycle wash and no dryer. They can really only be cleaned while still on the cushions and since they are white need fairly regular cleaning just from being outdoors. The cushions are also fine for short periods of time but definitely not something you could lounge in all day.
