I'll start by saying I do really like this set. The issue I have with it, however is that the "sofas" are two piece and the two pieces are identical so once you assemble them you have to actually turn the one piece so that you have an arm rest for your left arm and this exposes a panel in the front that should actually be hidden. It also causes the right armrest to be longer than the left armrest. It just looks a little odd, in my opinion. Maybe some people don't care, but it drives me a little crazy! I reached out to customer service and they worked very hard to resolve the issue but unfortunately it's a manufacturer issue and not easily resolved. Simply, it's just the way they are made. So far we have found the set to be comfortable and it looks really nice on our patio.
