We love the look and it's rare to find a sectional with a table tall enough to eat at. The main problem is the cushions (aside from being rather hard), take forever to dry out and retain water. You can pick up one of the cushions two days after a heavy rain and tilt it on the side and a stream of water will dribble out. So if you live in a rainy area like we do, you're not going to get to enjoy this set at all unless you keep it covered when not in active use.
