This set is exactly as pictured.  It is sturdy, comfortable. You sit back a tiny bit in a reclined position which is what I wanted. If something lower to the ground is difficult for you to get up from, this may not be the set for you. The quality of the cushions is excellent and even have tie down strapping so that they will not fly away in the wind.  The color is perfect for the location I wanted to place it. I would highly recommend
