This set is a good 4-star quality purchase. To get seating for 9 at this price is challenging, especially if you don't want wicker/rattan, so we knew it wouldn't be a 5 star product. Assembly takes a good amount of time, but the pieces themselves are solid and everything came as marked. The pillows are thin / flimsy but we like that one side has grippy silicone to keep them from sliding around too much. We got the navy and it looks very nice.
