It is just as advertised. This is my first ever patio furniture purchase and I really felt like it was not very comfortable. I will probably replace them in a year or two, or maybe just replace the cushions. I do like that you can move the pieces around very easily for different configurations. The cushions are velcro’ed to the base, so they stay pretty attached. The only issue is, if you damage one side, you cannot just “flip it”. No second chances!
