Better than expected. I read reviews where people said it was difficult to assemble but honestly I didn't have any issues. Yes, it takes a little while but once it's all together, it's solid and sturdy. Extra bonus is it seems the cushions are water repellent.  Here in South Florida we get some heavy rains and the water tends to beed on top of the cushions more than actually soaking into them during quick rain storms. Very happy with this purchase.
