The pieces arrived in two shipments and we selected blue cushions. We are extremely pleased with what we received for the price. I closely examined each piece. There was no damage to the wood or cushions and we could see extra thoughtful care taken in the packaging to make sure damage didnt occur. All hardware was included. The cushions Velcro to the back of the chair and seat of the chairbench. I will say the cushions pill rapidly- almost instantly and thats disappointing but again, for what we paid I dont mind and plan on adding covers eventually anyway. For this price, I havent seen anything close to this deal anywhere, especially with this thick of a cushion.  Wow. Just wow, we keep looking out at our deck with smiles and were so happy we had the set in time for the most recent visit from family. We brought the bench down by the fire to have extra seating... We probably need to eventually buy another set for the lawn.  We love this set!
