This is top quality outdoor furniture and easy to put together. All of my guests assume I paid more than double for the set.  Pads are treated, so they brush or wipe right off and they are water-resistant (proven by our rainstorm last week).  I would highly recommend purchasing this set, if you want to class-up you back yard or patio...Sincerely in love with my backyard again!  ♥♥♥
