* excellent packaging 
* fairly fast delivery
* easy, though rather extensive assembly

This patio set is a really good, intermediate priced set, with everything you need for 5–8 people, depending on how you configure it. But that’s the best part-you can put it in so many different iterations! I chose a sectional with an extra chair to fit my patio area. The pillows are nice and thick and the coffee table is high quality, although a little small for the set. I will likely buy an extra table to go with it. The color is a deep espresso with high quality weaving. It sits comfortably and looks substantial.
