I received this set this week-earlier than expected.  If you are considering it please note the rattan is brown but very dark with little variation-looks almost black.  I hope it fades or develops lighter brown threads with time. My older set was brown but it was lighter so I am not used to it this dark.  It makes it look a little plastic.  I'm not sure if it is because it is brand new.  Also, the beige cushions are not like beige canvas cushions, they are linen with a little texture so I would say they are a little darker beige/grey as compared to a beige canvas.  Other than that, set came in good condition, ready to roll and it is comfortable.  I was disappointed on the colors but I think that is my own personal preference based on what I was used to and may be fine for others.
