Great product especially for the price. The cushions are comfortable enough. It is unfair to compare it to other luxury sets where one small ottoman costs the same as this entire set. That said, assembly can be somewhat difficult but was able to do it by myself - the holes are not always perfectly aligned, but with some effort, it ends up being a sturdy set, and at least cosmetically looks like a much more expensive set. The cushions are not attached, which you can alter yourself if you want. Color wise, I was pleasantly surprised that the Gray and Light Blue configuration actually turned out darker (which is what I had wanted), consistent with the pictures already posted in other reviews. Overall, very happy with this - we'll see how it holds up after its first Florida summer -
