I like the sturdiness of the furniture, meaning specifically the footing, the armrest etc.; it appeared as though it would hold up well in an outdoor environment plus there was no assembly.  But the seating cushions provided no comfort (they are very hard) and the back cushions were soft to the point that they did not allow your body the opportunity to relax in the chair.  I felt more of the back of the chair vice the cushion.  I'm a short guy, (5' 7'') and the furniture looked small to me upon initially seeing it.  After sitting on the chair, the back of the chair was not tall enough to provide support for the entire back.  It only came about halfway up my back.  I wanted a set of outdoor furniture that would allow me to sit outside and comfortably watch a movie on my patio; this did not fit that bill. I hate to sound negative so.......it does look good, will probably hold up well in weather. Its just not comfortable so I shipped it back.
