This set, which at our house is fully exposed outside with no cover or protection, is perfect for us, but we have a tight space and these work well.   Seating is small, bigger people will not like them at all, especially the two-seater.  Assembly was not difficult but took twice as long as the packaging said.  The fabric colors unfortunately are too light in color and will show dirt, food spills & bird droppings. Kept outside year round, we'll be surprised if they last more than a couple of years, which is OK.  Appropriate for the price, and free shipping sealed the deal for us in Hawaii.
