Frame is solid but cushions dont hold up. They are basically sponges. Any little bit of rain and they soak it all up and take DAYS to dry out. We keep it covered but the cover was also cheap and created a swimming pool and the cushions still got wet. The unit is also very petite, perfect for children to feel like grown ups and grown ups to feel like giants. Weve had this set for less than 3 years and it was showing a lot of wear after the first year and cuahion need to be replaced now. For some reason it is also a spider magnet. Never had that problem with the set I had in the same location previously. Something about the frame, they love it.
