We love this set and it is just as pictured. It is sturdy and the chair cushions are very thick and comfortable. A friend (who's in the business) noted that the cushions were made by Brown & Jordan, which he says is a very good brand. The only thing I noticed is that the glass top is not as thick as our prior set (which cost a lot more 17 years ago). Hopefully, the glass will hold up in bad weather.
