Nice looking set.  We've only had it about a week, so can't speak to the durability.  Cushions are comfortable. It came in two different boxes about 5 days apart.  That was not a problem except there was no notification or tracking for the 2nd box, so I was not sure what happened to it.  Make no mistake, it is a pain to assemble.  If the designer had used slightly longer fasteners, it would be a little easier.  Assembly tip:  use a set of adjustable clamps to pull pieces together while you are trying to thread the fasteners through holes.  When you start assembly, you'll understand what I mean. Wish I had figured this out earlier in the assembly process, it would have saved me a load of time.
