Perfect seating area for our backyard. We procrastinated for years and finally this year we decided to start enjoying our backyard. The sofa set came in 4 big boxes , days before the promised delivery date. It is pre assembled which was a plus. The set was packaged well, no damages to the inside contents even though one box had a small hole. The cushions are individually wrapped and firm. I suspect it will soften in time. I bought a beautiful rug from Wayfair as well   Which tues in the whole area very well. It is now our favorite spot to relax .
