I ordered this outdoor set on July 19 and it was delivered July 27. It was well-packaged with each part bubble-wrapped separately. I easily put it together. The directions were very clear and extra bolts/washers were included. The bottom cushions tie to the frame so they won't slip around. The cushions are firm and the material sturdy. The seating pieces have low backs, but they are comfortable. The set is light in weight making it easy to move the pieces around, but well-made and fit easily in the spot on our back patio. I wouldn't put them in an exposed windy spot as they are light enough to be moved by high winds. Based on the quality, I expect to use them for several years.
