We bought this set for our front porch and are very pleased overall. The pieces were fairly easy to assemble and came together quickly. It seems very sturdy and well-made. Our only complaints are 1) that the cushions are not as soft as you'd imagine, but it's comfortable enough (and adding a few throw pillows should help, and 2) the furniture smelled quite a bit like the finish or stain that was used on it. Airing it out for a few days helped with that, but we put it together inside and even with the windows wide open it was making us both lightheaded.
