This set is just basically ok, if you are looking for a basic sectional set, this is for you. It's kinda small, and the cushions are really thin. The white slip covers are made out of a slick material and when you sit down on the sectional the cushions move, they also blow over in the wind. I thought I was getting a great deal for the price, but truly this is a 500.00 set, I got what I paid for. It photographs well, but in general not comfortable or practical. I also had issues with shipping, this set was put on back order two times, so it took about 5 weeks to receive it. It does give you the option to put glass or a cushion on top o the coffee table piece. one last thing, the diections to put the set together are very vague. We ended up throwing them away and just eyeballing the parts out, to figure out how they go together. It took about 6 hours instead of the 2 hours they suggest. The base pieces are sturdy, but probably need to purhase extra hardware to keep them from separating.
