Very disappointing purchase. This item does not have the option to lock the pieces into place, which allows them to slip and slide apart while sitting on them. The "centre table" is really another seat without a cushion and no opening for storage, big miss. Beyond that, the cushions do not have ties to attach to the furniture itself so they slip off as well, not to mention fly away if you have the smallest gust of wind. The seating depth is very short, so unless you are a tiny person it is not comfortable, you basically sit straight up with your bottom on the edge since there is no room. Overall extremely poorly made and thought out. Very misleading product description. Wish I could return. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone.
