OK, so the furniture’s a little jammed together, but I really love this set. It feels sturdy, as if it will hold up to use, but I can’t vouch for that yet. I can suggest you be careful when putting it together. If you get impatient, you may miss an instruction and cause yourself grief. The cushions are thick the back cushions could be a little cushier. All in all, it took my husband a few hours one night and a couple more the next to get the two swivel rockers assembled, and after that, it was smooth sailing. I’m extremely pleased with the set, I feel like it’s a great value for the money, and I hope to be using it for years to come. I feel like we’ve given ourselves the equivalent of another living room — just outside!
