Had been looking for an affordable patio set that was also good quality, and beautiful, this set was perfect for us! Other websites list this set as $1000+, and the reviews were great. Once we got it put together we could see why, really comfortable and looks great, not too bulky (we have a small balcony/porch off the back of our townhouse we put it on), and doing great in the rainy, humid, thunderstorm weather in NC!!
