Exactly as pictured. No surprises. Very nice product for the price. It may not last for a very  long time but with proper care , it may be possible. It was n't that hard to assemble as the pieces are big, but still a challenge. The hardest part  was the coffee table when we were putting the lid. Took a while for  my husband and my sons to  put it right because they keep insisting that they followed every step in the manual , only to realize that they were wrong. There is a waterproof lining inside the coffee table which will protect the pillows when we store it there. However, there is not enough space for all of the throw pillows. I will have to keep some of them inside the house.
