Just as expected, very easy to put together. Have had it a year now on a screened porch on the ocean side of the house so it's been exposed to wind, rain, and salt spray and has held up well. Cushions are solid but comfortable. Please note that the bottom cushion can be flipped- used on either side. But the cushion back has a zipper on the back side about 1/4 of the way down from the top, so that cushion will look funny if you try to use it on the back side.
