While there's more pieces than i really needed it was a much better bargain than sets with fewer pieces. I plan to have a larger patio next year so all the pieces will eventually be used. Until then i have 2 extra chairs and an extra table in the attic. The quality seems good and it was easy to put together. The chairs and couches aren't very deep with the back pillows on but it looks better with them. None of the cushions have ties to hold them in place, which is not an issue for the seat cushions but you have to put the back cushions back in place when you get up.
