I have only owned the furniture for a few weeks but am pleased with it so far.  The set not only looks great on the patio but also provides comfort and can accommodate large groups of people.  Assembly is not too difficult but it is time consuming.  The instructions and pictures depicting steps are of little help.  Once you figure out the first few steps, you can use reasonable deduction to complete the remainder.  Overall, the pieces are of good quality and aesthetically very nice.  Only other thing of note, the color of the pillows is more off-white/cream than what some of the pictures would show.  Would recommend for the price!!
