This set is beautiful and elegant on our covered front porch. After assembling three sets of different outdoor furniture, I appreciated that this particular set was straightforward. The cushions have a nice black trim but the creamy color does not match the stark white stripes of the pillows. Also a few of the pillows still haven't "fluffed up" after opening. I can't speak to how it holds up in sun/rain since this is a covered patio. However, it's comfortable and attractive.
