Read some of the reviews that mentioned tipping when you get up, I have not experienced that in the least. Seem very sturdy to me and they look fabulous on the porch. Can't beat the price! The set looks very high end without the cost. I am very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone. PS the white cushions are sharp and make the set look that much nicer against the black wicker. My husband likes them as well, very comfy to sit in, just enough support for your back to relax, read or sip a glass of wine. Again, when we have gotten up they have not tipped forward in the least. Not sure if other models are not as heavy as these or just people have a hard time standing up? No problems here! A++++
