This patio set is so nice. The cushions were packaged inside the pieces of the seats and everything was in perfect condition. The seats were pretty easy to put together. There are plastic connectors to put seats side by side so they dont move away. I love the color and how comfy the cushions are. I love the fire pit also. Its so pretty. We havent used it yet because I need to get propane, but Im sure that will be great too!
