Very comfortable and easy to put together.  I purposefully selected this couch based on appearance, size and the fact that the cushions were relatively thin (and would not be prone to sagging).  The cushions are basically sponges though - the exterior cover is not water resistant.  This is not a big issue since I just throw them in the garage for the winter (the seating is still plenty comfortable).  I like the fact that the low profile prevents leaves from accumulating underneath the respective pieces.  This set works perfectly on my small deck and the price / value quotient is excellent.  Highly recommended.
