I got this set in anticipation to also add a dining set later on to our backyard patio, and this has worked out great so far. The cushions are thick enough and comfortable, and the seats are wide enough for an average person to sit comfortably. My boyfriend and I can sit on the love seat next to each other no problem. The only drawback we've noticed is that the table is a little wobbly. We may replace it later on with something else and simply use it as a garden display surface, but the rest has worked out perfectly.
