The chairs and 2 seater are sturdy. My 19 year old had no trouble putting it together. Was po with the thickness of the cushions. It was my second choice as missed out on slightly more expensive model with 2 colour rattan and thicker cushions. I am sorry I didn’t wait fir it to be back in stock. But this one was ok for the money. Get what you pay for. Disappointing it didn’t include a cover.
