The fabric was nicer than I expected;assembly took just over an hour;comfortable. I did switch the seat cushions to "back to front" so that they do not extend over the base as much. I was surprised that the covers were not finished on both sides with the fabric. It really would not have been a big deal to just run the fabric all around instead of having to piece meal with a black "lining type" of fabric. The would be the only "con".
