I always work to be as informed as possible when making purchasing decisions.  You won't be disappointed in the purchase of this set.  We did lots of shopping around and you simply won't find anything better for the $ (we purchased 2 sets of 2).  Sure, assembly is somewhat of a pain but not due to difficulty....it's just time consuming.  Cushions are a little firm / look outstanding.  They seem pretty durable as well (we "scotch guarded" them immediately).  I inadvertently left them out in the rain the other day, brought them indoors immediately and they were dry within a few hours and there were no lasting effects.  As a testament to the product, we also purchased a couch a months after we received the lounge chairs.  I would buy this product again.Pros: Value, style/lookCons: Cusions are a little too firm (no big deal though)
