Honestly, I did hours and hours of research on rattan furniture for my patio. The depth and quality of the cushions, the dimensions, the number of seats, the type of layout etc etc. I have to say I think this is the perfect all rounder. It looks very smart, not cheap at all and yet the price is very reasonable indeed. The rattan is multi-tonal and seems well made, flexible but strong. The structure underneath each section seems very tough and sturdy. The cushions are thick and firm but very very comfortable, and it was so easy to put together I did it on my own without hubby!! The delivery team we 3 lovely chaps who did a great job, unpacking it all and telling me where the instructions and small bits were and placed it where I needed it, very carefully. Overall, I'm just really thrilled, it's turned out so much better than I anticipated and I've spent so much more quality time out there as a result of it. Thank you!
