This set is just right for my patio and even my little Frenchie approves. It took me 2 and a half hours to assemble all of it by myself so not bad! I didn’t have any issues with damage from delivery either. :) i originally wanted a sectional with ottoman but I found that all the backs of them were too low. I like how the back on all of these pieces is is high. Cushions are a bit stiff but I’m sure that will change over time. Overall, I’m happy!
