I was torn about buying the set with the white cushions, and they are not plush, but they are easy to clean, look great with a few larger throw pillows to make a little more comfortable, and I usually only put them out when guests are over anyway.  The set took my college age brother about 45 minutes to put all together, and it's a solid set. Really love the clean lines and color of the wood seems pretty much exactly what I thought from the photo online.

Pros: Definite value for a solid piece
Cons: Definitely need extra cushions for comfort (and style)
