I researched for months for just the right thing. I love that this set seats 6. The cushion are.firm and perfect thickness. I like the lumbar support in the chairs, too. The set is sturdy, classy and really adds a wow factor to our deck. We hired someone to assemble it all and he did it all.within an hour and fifteen minutes. I could not be happier. Anxious.to have our first summer gathering to enjoy it
