This is slightly better then I was expecting based off the reviews. While lower to the ground, it isn't uncomfortable. The table is the same height as the couch. The cushions are fine for the price of this. The back of the couch is lower too but, comes to just under my shoulder blades which still provided enough support. These were the two biggest issues I noticed in the reviews and, it didn't bother me one bit. The seat width is deep enough to not have to sit up straight. Took about an hour to put together with two people. It's fairly light weight so, easy to move. Over all, an affordable outdoor sofa, decent quality for its price range.
