I bought this in the orange.  It is very bright, but I do love it.  It took my husband and I about an hour to put all the pieces together.  We had no issues with alignment like others had.  Its sitting in our covered lanai.  I haven't had it long enough to say whether or not it will hold up or fade, etc.  I will say that for the price I probably could have gotten something else a little more solid, but regardles of that, I am very happy with this furniture.  My husband and I can't wait to sit outside in the winter time when its a bit cooler out.
