I have been eyeing these (brown with cement gray cushions) for awhile. Then out of stock, so glad it returned, it was worth the wait! Made well- sturdy. Can not comment on durability over UV, cushion, as I'm ordering covers. I find the cushions not hard, easy on back. Back cushion could be a couple of inches higher, but I just lift it up and sit back. So relaxing, no noise when gliding or swiveling. Very pleased with my purchase.
