For the price, we are pleased to have a full patio set that was very easy to assemble - took about 30 painless minutes total. Very disappointed that the couch arrived with a large, deep scratch in the wood that we can not fix with our own wood stain (it's too deep and obvious). The stain is also blotchy in a number of areas and the wood has a number of unfinished (i.e. unsanded, splintery) edges. I don't think this set will hold up for multiple years, and will definitely need to be re-finished to preserve its lifespan.
