Well I really like this set. Fits just right in the space on the porch. Seems real sturdy. The cushions are firm.  Lots of sitting room for sure. Took only a couple of hours to put together that why the pic of my husband, props to him for his help in putting them together. I really like the looks of it. I also like the storage in the tables gives you a place to put cushions on those windy days. I left the plastic on the cushions because we had rain in the forecast.
