I like the design and price of the set, but it's not comfortable. The cushions are hard and thin, and a couple of the ties on one of the cushions has already broken. The wood does fade when sitting in direct sunlight as well. The benches squeek a little when 2 people sit on them, so they aren't super sturdy. I plan on getting better cushions soon, but for the price, I guess the set was worth it. If you can afford it though, I'd go with something a little bigger and sturdier, with thicker cushions.
