We just put this together so I cannot speak for durability yet but I am not sure that it is going to last more than two seasons. You will definitely need covers. The set is very attractive but be aware it does sit lower to the ground than some others. Not ideal for tall people. The gray cushions looked as expected. They are rather thin but I knew that when I purchased it. Assembly wasnt too bad. No missing pieces, etc.  Over all it is a nice set for the price. My biggest concerns is the “wicker” seems to scratch easily. The glass top of the coffee table attaches with very tiny and thin suction cups. That may be a concern if you have small children. I anticipate that it would slide off easily.  Delivery from wayfair was very prompt and convenient. Would use this company again without hesitation.
