Overall I really like how this set looks, but I do not think it will hold up even with light use over the summer. I was surprised by how expensive patio furniture is, so I spent a lot of time looking at reviews to try to find something reasonably priced that would be comfortable. While the seats are initially comfortable to sit on, after a short period they get very compressed and are not comfortable for very long. I've also already noticed the seats don't seem to fully regain their shape -- for instance, right now I can see where someone was sitting on the sofa over two weeks later. I am not sure if this is an issue with the foam/fabric of the seats or because there is little support under the cushions so you really sink down when you sit. I wish I had spent more money and gotten something that would last longer.

Assembly was pretty easy, just time consuming for one person. There were a few scratches on the arms/frames but nothing too noticeable.
