I thought I was going to be in love with this set and it really fell short of that. 
The sectional is much smaller and shorter than pictured. It appears to have been made for tiny people. Due to this, sitting on it is awkward, no real lounge experience outdoors, you have to sit upright. The ratan material looks and feels like one step up from the old fashion wicker. It does not look like it will last through one upstate NY summer season. Overall, I am disappointed.
