I thought this was a perfect set for our back patio! Purchased it a while back and I have noticed a couple of defects that if I had known I would have done things a little differently. The hinges on the ottoman and coffee table have rusted over time, its not like they have broken but they do show rust, maybe someone could coat them with a clear spray paint or something to help deter the rust. I would have also scotch-guarded the cushions. They wash pretty well but make sure to hang to dry, the wrinkles will come out over time. The set also doesn't look complete in my opinion without throw pillows but that's easily solvable. I gave it a 4 star rating because for the money you can't beat it and ALL the cushions can fit in the coffee table and ottoman. That's a major plus in my book!
