WOW. My expectations were exceeded so much by this purchase. We we just built a new back deck (as you can tell by some of the unfinished work in my photo) and needed a nice patio set that was sturdy and beautiful. This set is both of those things. Others have complained about the assembly. It took us about 15 min to put this together with just a few bolts and a drill. You could easily do this without a drill but it would take a lot longer. The cushions are also what I expect out of outdoor furniture. Others reported they weren’t very comfortable but we are pleased with them. The fabric is a little thin so you can see the cushions underneath some, but it doesn’t take away from the overall aesthetic in my opinion. Highly recommended for the price!
