My lovely parents gifted me with $1500 to finally outfit my back deck with some furniture. I wanted something that would seat a lot of people, but was also highly reviewed and in my budget. This set ended up being the best bet for sure! One thing that I want to emphasize: the pillows are very light weight, and you absolutely will need to secure them to the wicker frames by a device of your own design. I think we're going to use Velcro. Also! The fabric is not "water resistant" as some reviews led me to believe - they do a good job of wicking until a certain point, and then they soak up water deep inside. The outside will seem dry, but the innards are actually nice and full of rain water. Just try to put them away when it rains, or prop them on their sides to drain afterwards. No big deal!
