The set was by no means deep seating, FYI.  It took an hour or so to assemble, as FedEx delivered the item in on giant box. The cushions are also just average, nothing plush. They are lightweight, so they can tend to get blown around in heavy winds and rain. It's an average to decent set for the price. I have only had it for less than two weeks, so I haven't sat in it much nor do I know how it will survive the elements. Take a good look at the dimensions. It is slightly smaller than what I expected.
