I am super happy with this purchase! The bottom cushions seemed a little thin at the beginning, but they have improved! My daughter’s 22 year old boyfriend put it together by himself. He organized all the parts before beginning and found it very straightforward to assemble. He said the most annoying part was “hand cranking” all the parts, not hard just tedious. I got the  blue colour and I think it looks great! I would describe the wicker part as being dark grey and it feels very sturdy! It’s comfortable for two using the ottomans and a great spot to take a nap!!
