The quality for the price is great. I can't complain. So the 5 star review is based on the price. Obviously, it does not compare to a $1500 set. The cushions are definitely thin and have cheap filling. I will probably have the insides replaced with high quality furniture foam. Despite some of the other reviews, they were very easy to put together. As with any furniture piece, leave the screws a little loose as you assemble all of the pieces, then tighten after they are all in and you won't have any issues.
