We like the design and it's quite comfortable to sit on them. But, first of all one of the chairs cracked immediately after assembling (the leg along the wood line). The customer service has replied right away and we are waiting for the leg replacement. But they actually feel sturdy. The second thing is THE SMELL! It's been almost 2 weeks and it still smells. (maybe just a tiny bit less now). We Fabreezed it and tried other things but the cushions still smell. (the same as the bench). It's not a "glue smell" or "new wood", it's a very disgusting, old sweaty socks kind of smell...very odd.
