I spent a lot of time reviewing wicker patio sets. I’m glad I went a little extra to get the swivel chairs with this set it makes a huge difference if you have a layout where that could come in handy. Another great feature of this set are the high backs. I’ve had patio sets before with low backs and they can get uncomfortable with these, you can lean back and sit there for hours.￼￼ The seat cushions are nice and firm, and the back cushions are nice and soft…the way they should be. The ottomans also came in handier than I had expected, since they are easily used as foot stools or as additional seating when needed.￼￼
