The set sits very comfortably. It has nice back support. Ive werent sure if the cushions would give enough support as they are not as thick as some others we have seen, but they are fine and very comfortable. The blue reminds me of a demin blue color. They were easy enough to put them together. The package had some extra bolts, and that was needed, so it was appreciated. Teo holes on the set we received were not threaded correctly but we were able to correct that and set it all up. It would be nicer if the set had covers. It did not come with covers and you could not leave it out on the patio without something covering them, and there are a lot of cushions to store. We are very happy with the set. We just got it and cant wait for our patio renovation to be completed so we can use it more.
