This set is perfectly proportioned for our 12x14 deck. Although the cushions are weather-resistant, we prefer storing them in the hinged chest and end table. Be sure to zip the cloth insert on the inside for more protection from moisture. I thought the cushions would have been thicker, but overall it is very comfortable and I am petite. I'm not sure how comfortable it would be for larger people. It took several hours for the hubby to put together and everything matched up. It arrived in one large box and nothing was damaged on arrival! I bought additional pillows at World Market to add color. I saw another review regarding unraveling due to exposure to sun/weather....I hope this doesn't happen to ours...it would be severally disappointing to have spent $800+ on something that doesn't last one season. If it doesn't make it thru the season, I will re-review it!!
