I have never written a review before but I want to be certain anyone buying this understands what I did not understand. It is much smaller than it appears in the picture. It sits very low to the ground. The pillows are very uncomfortable. While I did not pay a lot for these pieces I expected more for around $500. This is easily the quality of a $200 set at an outlet type store. If it was not such a hassle to return it after putting it all together and the fact it was already late in arriving for the event I need it for I would have definitely returned it and bought something else better with my money.
